I’m not arguing against QM and GR.
You’re the only one making claims you can’t back up with a single observation, about a situation, an “external universe”, that is just speculation and unprovable under the terms you define it.
QM and GR etc would apply to any external universe running the virtual machine
Fascinating!
No, that would be evidence that the scientific model of a universe as a “virtual machine” has not been disproved. In the way you’re defining “virtual machine”, it would also be possible evidence we’re living in a dream.
Non-falsifiable hypotheses can motivate people to explore, but you’re making more of this than what it is. (And theology is full of non-falsifiable hypotheses, that would theoretically add to our understanding of reality, if only they were testable…)
I’ll keep an eye out on whether they ever develop a line of inquiry on whether we’re in a Intelligently Designed fishbowl that doesn’t rely on unprovable and unknowable conditions. They haven’t yet.
