No more fossil fuel or nukes? In the future we will generate power with magic dust

Well

The Many Worlds theory implies that all possible universes are ... possible. Probable even. So it's likely that another universe exists in which our universe is a computer simulation.

If our universe were a simulation in a computer, it would explain a lot of things. For instance, a quantum particle doesn't have to make up its mind until someone performs a read on the location. It would also explain a minimum resolution (Planck length) and clock speed (Planck time). It would also explain why, in regions with a lot of stuff, the calculations slow down because there is more crunching to be done. This explains relativistic time dilation. It explains the speed of light - how quickly signals can propagate across the simulation.

I'm assuming that the simulation runs in a container or a VM. If we could break through to the host or bare metal, then we would have incredible power - time crystals and the like.

And since you ask, yes I have been drinking
