Thread 'The Universe is No Simulation'

I came across the following paper by Mir Faizal, Lawrence M Krauss, Arshid Shabir, and Francesco Marino from BC. Consequences of Undecidability in Physics on the Theory of Everything Abstract General relativity treats spacetime as dynamical and exhibits its breakdown at singularities‎. ‎This failure is interpreted as evidence that quantum gravity is not a theory formulated {within} spacetime; instead‎, ‎it must explain the very {emergence} of spacetime from deeper quantum degrees of...
