Perhaps the simulation in itself is one of the parallel universes. What if the computer created all the multiple strands in the first place? Then jumping between them would be like moving between folders.
I recall the Assimov story where this species built this incredibly smart computer that existed in hyperspace in order to save them from heat death of the universe, as in accordance with entropic principle. anyway, flashfoward something like forty five billion years, the universe is buggered, the computer, that is unaffected in hyperspace then goes... LET THERE BE LIGHT... and the universe is created.
So perhaps we create the computer that leads to our own creation (that's almost as bad as the Terminator principle, but still worth debating) |
