And here I was waiting to get unplugged, or maybe finding a Nokia phone that received a call.

    From our perspective, sure. But we wouldn't know if it was stopped and started running again, or if it was reverted to a previous state.

    Yes, just like Minecraft worlds are so antiquated given how they contain diamonds in deep layers that must have taken a billion years to form.

    What a simulated world contains as its local timescale doesn't mean the actual non-local run time is the same.

    It's quite possible to create a world that appears to be billions of years old but only booted up seconds ago.
