      The memory required to track all these particles was insane, so we just made a wave of where they were most likely to be and picked a random spot when the exact location was needed. 🤷

              i’m just kinda skeptical of suggesting we live in a computer simulation

              tens of thousands of years ago, people looked up into the night sky or a raging tempest and projected human-like traits onto it.

              Now instead of seeing an angry father figure in the stars, we’re surrounded by computers so we look up (or down, in quantum cases), and see a desktop environment. It’s… awful convenient.
