1
What is one possible computational limitation of a simulated universe?
There would be no way to distinguish between simulated and real physics.
Gravity would not exist in a simulated reality.
The universe would have a maximum processing resolution
Simulated beings would never realize they are simulated.
2
Who formally introduced the Simulation Hypothesis in a 2003 academic paper?
Nick Bostrom
Richard Feynman
Max Planck
Elon Musk
3
What experiment aims to detect whether space-time is fundamentally "pixelated"?
The Holometer Experiment
The Double-Slit Experiment
The Cosmic Background Radiation Measurement
The Large Hadron Collider Experiment
4

Argentina
Sweden
France
Norway
5
What is a possible scientific approach to proving we live in a simulation?
Creating a powerful enough AI to simulate human consciousness.
Observing other simulated universes from inside our own.
Finding a way to break the laws of physics.
Finding glitches in fundamental physics like unexpected physical anomalies
6
What does the Simulation Hypothesis suggest about quantum randomness?
Quantum randomness is proof that simulations cannot exist.
Randomness may be an illusion caused by computational shortcuts
The randomness of quantum mechanics contradicts any simulation model
Randomness is necessary to prevent a simulation from breaking down.
7
According to Bostrom’s argument, which of the following is NOT a possible scenario?
The majority of all conscious beings are likely living in simulations.
Every universe must eventually collapse into a singularity.
Advanced civilizations choose not to create ancestor simulations.
Advanced civilizations never reach the ability to create simulations.
8
Which of the following suggests the universe might be a computational construct?
The digital nature of quantum mechanics and space-time
The presence of dark matter in the universe.
The discovery of subatomic particles
The expansion of the universe.
9
What is the Holographic Principle?
A method for simulating reality using optical technology.
A hypothesis that our 3D universe could be a projection from a 2D surface
A theory stating that black holes can reflect light like a hologram.
The principle that holograms can be used to encode digital information
10
What is the core idea of the Simulation Hypothesis?
Consciousness generates the physical universe
Reality is a highly advanced computer simulation
The universe is a mathematical illusion
The world exists only when observed
11
Why do some scientists argue that the universe appears "fine-tuned"?
Because the speed of light remains constant in all frames of reference
Because atoms behave unpredictably at the quantum level.
Because time slows down in strong gravitational fields.
Fundamental constants of nature seem precisely set to allow complex life
12
What does Moore’s Law predict about computing power?
It follows a linear increase over time
It will stop increasing after reaching a certain limit.
It remains constant unless new technology is discovered
It doubles approximately every two years.
13
What principle in quantum mechanics suggests that reality changes based on observation?
Pauli Exclusion Principle
The Observer Effect
Superposition Principle
Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
