Are we in the matrix?

You admit you could be a head in a vat! You have faith in reality. FAITH!...*insert convoluted mental gymnastics and worthless philosophy* SO GOD THING=REAL. No. No that's not how it works. Now I know the head in a vat is a favorite of the likes of Neil Degrass Tyson and Matt Dillahunty. But I loathe it deeply. A pathetic journey into fiction to serve as a segway into an argument so full of philosophical nonsense you need a masters degree in dead deep thinkers just to follow. As far as I'm concerned simulated reality is the pet lunacy of the otherwise intelligent. So let's put that pet down. In a paper published in the journal Science Advances, Zohar Ringel and Dmitry Kovrizhi show that constructing a computer simulation of a particular quantum phenomenon that occurs in metals is impossible. doubling the number of particles would mean doubling the computing power required. If, however, the complexity grows on an exponential scale – where the amount of computing power has to double every time a single particle is added – then the task quickly becomes impossible. So if its impossible to create a computer capable of presenting the quantum Hall effect in metals, then a system capable of representing all life and physics would have to be infinitely expanding constantly. If you want to be ridiculed you can point out that a system simulating our world would not be constrained by physics. In that case I recommend to you either church or a mental health facility. As both are fine locations for the deranged. As you wish to reach for the unreachable it may as well be god. Or your own ass through a straight jacket.
