The part that makes me really laugh is that this mouth breather was replying to Hank Green. Like, Tyson is an overbearing know it all, so I can see people being into trying to "debate" him so that can use his arrogance to justify their dumb beliefs. But Green is a very ground level science communicator who can always bring these kinds of idiotic arguments down to earth and destroy them with plain logic.

False. Time dilation is already implemented and likely proportional to exceeding processing ability. At worst we'll tick so slow that every moment is eternity.

So the universe is a trans allegory?

I know that The Matrix is a trans allegory but simulation theory isn't necessarily the same as being imprisoned in a simulation. It means we might not exist at all. Simulation goes away, we go away. Or maybe it's like The Matrix and we're all trans eggs. There's no way to know which version it is or how many people are real vs simulated.
