A type of simulation which some experimental evidence suggests we don't live in
The Reasoner 12 (7):56-56 (2018)
Abstract
Do we live in a computer simulation? I will present an argument that the results of a certain experiment constitute empirical evidence that we do not live in, at least, one type of simulation. The type of simulation ruled out is very specific. Perhaps that is the price one must pay to make any kind of Popperian progress.Author's Profile
