In a paper he wrote with two colleagues, Beane proposes that a simulation lattice could affect the behavior of ultra-energetic particles known as cosmic rays, affecting their orientation and maximum intensity.
If our reality is built on top of a lattice, there’d be a fundamental coarseness to it, since there could be no details in our mock-universe smaller than the resolution of the simulation.Įven if the resolution limit is too small for us to observe directly, Beane says, we may be able to detect it experimentally. Maybe the aliens (or whoever built our simulation, if it exists) used that approach, too. He points out that scientists in his field use a lattice-like set of coordinates to simulate the behavior of subatomic particles.
