I always wonder if we could draw some parallels between an universe and a simulation.
Time -> reason why universe is expanding
Lots of quantum mechanic problems -> something that actually in theory could be simulated - but "lots of stuff is happening at the same time" (tons of fields and particles flying around, so things are "unpredictable")
Particles are not particles but manifolds
Time slows down around heavy objects like black holes - the same way servers slow down when they have this massive battle of thousands of ships in Eve online -> it is difficult to run a simulation
So the question would be, can we escape one layer up -> to the virtual machine what is simulating our reality? Same way some program can escalate privilege and see what is inside the system.
What would be a good way to escalate privileges and break free from a virtual machine? And by this, I mean the theoretical machine that runs our reality?
