Their findings, published in the Journal of Holography Applications in Physics, go beyond simply suggesting that we're not living in a simulated world like The Matrix. They prove something far more profound: the universe is built on a type of understanding that exists beyond the reach of any algorithm.

If the universe is "built on a type of understanding that exists beyond the reach of any algorithm", doesn't that also make it beyond the reach of mathematics?

Kinda weird to use math to "prove" that math can't work. But I'm not a PHD physicist (or a sex pest) like the authors.

    Math is sort of a superset of algorithms. It can explain things algorithms sometimes can't.
