Issue #3 - Simulations?
Update Extirpation release cadence; posted my first real blog on the feasibility of a universal simulation
Hello friends,
This week, I’ve written one chapter of Extirpation and my first real blog post. The reason for the former is that I am dropping the publishing cadence to once weekly in order to better fit in my life and other projects. This may increase again in the future, but will remain this way for now.
As for the blog post, I wrote on a subject that I both found interesting and which was relevant to a story I’m working on: simulations. Namely, the astronomical, impossible cost of simulating a universe exactly as we have ours. Spoiler: it would be very, very difficult. Give it a read!
Enjoy!
