Yeah, here's one of the article: https://www.google.ie/amp/s/www.tec...al-the-universe-as-a-computer-simulation/amp/sophiecentaur said:Can you give a reference to that article?
The Wiki Article (first Google hit) seems to imply that there is no limit.
I don't understand what the "matrix" thing has to do with it. Can you help us with that?
I read that article and I think it needs to be taken with a pinch of salt. The clause near the end "even if it's only to rule out" drew my attention. I can't believe it's Physics in the terms of PF. It seems daft to me that anyone could suppose the form of computer that would run a simulation of that nature would operate anything like the article suggests (i.e. just like a bigger version of what we are using).TheQuestionGuy14 said:Yeah, here's one of the article: https://www.google.ie/amp/s/www.tec...al-the-universe-as-a-computer-simulation/amp/
The GZK Cut Off Point, also known as the Greisen–Zatsepin–Kuzmin limit, is a theoretical energy limit for cosmic rays. It is the maximum energy that a cosmic ray can have without interacting with the cosmic microwave background radiation.
The GZK Cut Off Point happens because of the interaction between high-energy cosmic rays and the cosmic microwave background radiation. As cosmic rays travel through space, they collide with the photons of the cosmic microwave background radiation, losing energy in the process. This limit is predicted by the laws of physics and is a fundamental property of our universe.
The GZK Cut Off Point is significant because it provides a limit to the energy of cosmic rays that can reach Earth. This limit helps us understand the behavior of cosmic rays and provides important insights into the origins and composition of these high-energy particles.
The GZK Cut Off Point was first predicted by physicists Kenneth Greisen, Georgiy Zatsepin, and Vadim Kuzmin in 1966. This prediction was based on the properties of the cosmic microwave background radiation and the known laws of physics. Since then, numerous experiments and observations have confirmed the existence of this energy limit.
Currently, there is no evidence to suggest that the GZK Cut Off Point can be surpassed. The laws of physics that govern the interactions between cosmic rays and the cosmic microwave background radiation are well-established and have been extensively tested. However, some scientists are exploring potential loopholes or new physics that could potentially allow for higher energy cosmic rays to exist. This is an ongoing area of research in the field of astroparticle physics.
