Simulation theory: Physicist uses Covid to prove we live in a 'super complex' simulation

This is cool but I already knew we were living in a simulation, though I never fully subscribe to any one theory as a default, I do think it's closest to what I believe. I can always change my mind but there's a lot of evidence that points towards simulation theory imo. But that evidence isn't entirely fool proof and it could be just hearsay, however to me, it's entirely plausible.

In a paper published last year in the journal AIP advances, he uses COVID as an example.

The SARS-CoV-2 virus, he says, mutated specifically to minimize information entropy.

"A super complex universe like ours, if it were a simulation, would require a built-in data optimization and compression in order to reduce the computational power and the data storage requirements to run the simulation," Vopson argued in an article in The Conversation.

"This is exactly what we are observing all around us, including in digital data, biological systems, mathematical symmetries and the entire universe.”
How does he know that natural selection doesn't also reduce information entropy, everything else being equal?

I think that word "prove" should be placed in giant scare-quotes. In fact, real physicists know that hypotheses in our universe can only be disproven; never proven.

@ElwoodBlues I think one has to read more into what he has to say, I'm sure there's more than that, that he's touched on and it's been summarized with the news article.

Lol. So if a physicist claims simulation theory may be real, they're not real and didn't go to school for anything. It's becoming more widely accepted and nobody says it's 100% real but there's more and more things in which has most scientists considering the theory. I'm not sure anyone says that everything is fool proof.
@SatanBurger Physicists claim their theories make accurate predictions. They don't claim they've been proven.

Interesting.
