The Multiverse is a Computer

We are in a multiverse computer program that produces every possible universe, with all possible combinations of forces and laws of physics. One such universe in the multiverse is ours.

Each universe in the multiverse must produce every possible version of its universe, given its particular combination of forces and laws of physics.

That’s where infinite parallel universes come from, or the Many-Worlds Theory. Every possible version of Earth exists, but each version is programmed to be random. It’s not pre-planned. Each universe resulting after a Big Bang is programmed to evolve randomly. So there’s every kind of species—completely different types in each simulation of the universe. Some fail to ever produce a planet with life like Earth. Some produce many more Earth-like planets. On each planet, the evolution of life develops differently, depending on other random environmental factors. Each life form can live vastly different lives depending on the environment.

This is where the holographic principle comes in. All information from our universe (or simulation) is saved on the event horizon of a black hole. So after our universe (simulation) ends, it reboots and replays again, with inevitably different results. It will be different every time. It is not deterministic because it is programmed for randomness. The computer does not know what the result of the program will be.

This is how humans can have free will despite being in a computer program. The computer program that is our universe replays a simulation of our universe infinite times. Recording the information (For what? Who knows?) and saving the results from each simulation. Collecting this data, perhaps to learn something. To discover the optimal universe. The conditions that produce the best results. Or simply out of curiosity. To see what randomness can produce.

In which case, Earth is random. Life is random. Evolution is random. Humans are random.

Yet humans are special or unique in that we are able to discover, through math and physics and computer science, that we are in a computer program.

The question is, having discovered that, is it possible for characters in a computer program to escape the world of the computer?
