If you wanted to create a simulated universe how would you design it? Puppet show or evolution?
I would set the constants of physics that determine the nature of space-time and energy-matter within the program, cause a simulated inflation, and then sit back and watch the show. Evolving complexity, life, sentience, all coming to exist within the simulation without my direct involvement, all from my simple beginnings. Now THAT would be an experiment.
I remain skeptical that if our universe is a simulation that we are mere puppets in a game. My goodness, certainly our creators could do better than that.
