Edward Fredkin's Paradox

Edward Fredkin's Paradox highlights the challenge in simulating reality with computers: as we try to create an exact digital replica of the universe, the complexity and detail required become incomprehensibly vast, making the simulation incredibly difficult or impossible to complete efficiently. Essentially, it questions whether our universe’s intricate processes can be fully reproduced in a computer, suggesting limits to computational modeling of reality due to the enormous information and processing power needed. It raises important considerations about the nature of reality, simulation, and our ability to understand the universe through technology.
