A question

I don't know a whole lot about quantum computing (or quantum mechanics for that matter). Just the basics that entanglement can be used to move information. So forgive me if this question seems naive.

If the universe is indeed a quantum computer simulation, wouldn't that imply design even if it's not the same as the general universe simulation theory? How likely is a random universe size quantum computer simulation?

- Looking for the creator is a stupid idea. The question of who created the creator will always remain. - RobVG - 9/3/2023 8:06:44 PM

  - Sure, you'll need a god to program the simulation, though. - ER - 8/30/2023 11:44:17 PM

      - It's only there if you are looking at it. - BuckGalaxy - 9/4/2023 8:51:55 PM
    - An interesting thought - BuckGalaxy - 9/1/2023 12:23:14 AM
      - It wouldn't show up on the molecular level - RL - 9/4/2023 4:38:27 PM

  - But it does matter... - RL - 8/26/2023 7:34:16 PM
