The Fermi Paradox—the contradiction between the high probability of alien life and its lack of evidence—is resolved by the simulation hypothesis. A resource-constrained simulation would only render what an observer needs to see, leaving the rest of the cosmos computationally dormant to save processing power.

Hoffman's theory posits that our perceived world is not a persistent, objective reality but a simulation that is rendered only when an observer looks at it. According to this model, when you look away from an object, it ceases to exist and is only re-rendered upon observation.

A particle's quantum state collapses not due to a conscious observer, but when any physical interaction captures information about its path. This suggests the universe is a system responding to information processing, where computation is more fundamental than matter.

In a game engine, objects that appear far apart on screen are just data structures processed in the same physical space by the same chips. This concept of simulated distance provides a model for understanding how entangled particles can be linked despite vast separations.

Philosopher Nick Bostrom argued statistically that we are likely in a simulation. Recent physics proving the universe is not locally real and behaves computationally provides empirical evidence that aligns with the structural requirements of Bostrom's hypothetical simulation.

Recent physics experiments suggest the universe isn't "locally real," behaving like a simulation that only renders what is being observed. A tree falling on Mars may not actually fall until it's measured, similar to how an unseen area in a video game doesn't render.

A 2022 Nobel Prize proved the universe is not 'locally real,' behaving like a simulation. This fundamental shift in understanding reality makes extraordinary claims, such as government knowledge of alien life, more conceivable because our base assumptions about the universe are already proven wrong.

Contrary to classical physics, space and time are not infinitely divisible. They break down at the "Planck length" and "Planck time," a smallest possible unit. This mirrors the necessary resolution limit of any finite computational system, like pixels on a screen or voxels in a game, suggesting reality is fundamentally digital.

The universe is not "locally real," meaning objects exist as probabilities until observed. This mirrors video game engines that only render objects in a player's view to conserve computational resources, suggesting our reality is similarly efficient.
