In this hypothetical scenario, we can’t possibly know what this external universe looks like. It could be entirely different from ours in terms of physics, so we may well be living in a simulation. I personally don’t care because it doesn’t affect me at all.

I 100% agree, except what we can know, is that it must be infinitely more complex then this. It’s a necessity of math and logic.
But what it looks like or what the laws are, we cannot know. Only that it’s more complex.
Apart from that, I agree that no matter if this is a simulation or not, it remains our reality that we continuously try to better understand.
It doesn’t necessarily have to be more complex, if it is infinite.
Just like there are exactly as many rational numbers between 0 and 1 as there are in total. The same works for real numbers.
We don’t know if our universe is infinite. There is reason to believe that spacetime might be discrete. And we don’t know if the universe is infinite, or if the observable universe is all there is, and we just happen to be approximately in the middle of it.
But if the universe is dense, and if the technology was advanced enough, simulating an equally complex should be possible.

Probably not infinitely, just very very very very very very very very much more complex.
So yeah, nothing is outside the realm of possibility for the external universe.
Yes, I shouldn’t have written that, because that’s kind of moronic. 🤡

No, you can’t simulate 1 particle using only 1 particle.
