Cosmic speed cap could be a built‑in safeguard preventing computational overload.
AI prompt:
what if the speed of light is the speed of processing in the computer of the simulated universe we live in
_
AI response:
The idea that the speed of light represents the processing limit of a simulated universe’s computer is a popular hypothesis in simulation theory. It suggests our reality’s universal speed cap prevents overload by capping information propagation, akin to a program’s frame rate or CPU cycle speed.
## Core Argument
Proponents argue the speed of light (c ≈ 299,792 km/s) acts as a hardcoded constraint to manage computational demands. In a simulation, rendering distant events or allowing faster-than-light travel could require simulating unobservable regions prematurely, straining resources—much like video games limit draw distance. Relativity’s time dilation near c further aids efficiency, slowing simulation clocks for high-speed entities.
## Supporting Evidence from Physics
This aligns with unexplained features like c’s observer invariance and its role as an absolute limit underived from deeper laws. Quantum entanglement’s “spooky action” appears instantaneous but conveys no usable info faster than c, preserving causality without extra compute. Black holes, where time halts at the horizon, mirror processor overload.
## Counterpoints and Challenges
Critics note simulations could use arbitrary speeds uncorrelated to base reality’s hardware, making c’s specific value incidental. No direct tests exist, though proposals include probing cosmic rays for pixelation or lattice artifacts at high energies. Nested simulations (us running our own) would amplify limits, but quantum mechanics’ observer-dependent complexity fits lazy rendering.

/ note: i’m posting new articles only on the OLD.RIP blog — no longer sharing on other platforms. i do not have any social accounts related to the OLD.RIP name. with my old ‘youthextension’ wordpress blog i did try out many social platforms — all discontinued years ago. no more time to do the same with OLD.RIP blog. in some cases i use ‘archive.org’, ‘youtube.com’, ‘rumble.com’, or other accounts — not under OLD.RIP name — while sharing files here. i am not using for communication social sharing or calling or messaging apps but only regular email service and regular cellphone service. keeping it to minimum — got life to live. /
