The Question is who prepared that Program? Only an intelligent life can create a Super Big Computer. Then What Universe the Creator lives in? Its Shell inside shell. Creator created a Program -> We create another Program and inside it again an intelligent life. Our Universe is shells. The Big we grow the Bigger things we can find. The smaller we go The smaller things can be found. Going Small -> Solids -> Molecules -> Electron/ Protons -> Quarks -> ??? Going Large -> Solids -> Mountains -> Earth -> Solar System -> Galaxy -> Universe - > ??? Bye Sanny Chat with Physics Professor: http://www.getclub.com/chat_with/?key=Physics

So suppose there is a very large computer (one that can do 10^(10^100) operations per second and has 10^(10^100) bytes of RAM) in a very large universe that is not our universe. If there are several such computers and several programmers, then one of the programmers might write a program that runs a Turing machine on all possible inputs (programs). If it was possible to simulate our universe with any program, then it would be one of those Turing inputs. > Only intelligent life can create a Super Big Computer. > I wonder if a natural process might accidentally start computing. If a universe is large enough, even very improbable things could happen by accident. > Then What Universe the Creator lives in? > Its Shell inside shell. I am only suggesting that most small universes (i.e. less than 10^100 particles) which are only 3 dimensional, have simple universal physical laws, and something like quantum mechanics to limit the "resolution" of the simulation are simulations. I am not claiming that any universe that contains intelligent life is a simulation. That would limit the shell inside a shell problem.
