It seems to me that the possibility is being dismissed as unscientific or philosophic. I sustain that there are probability-based indications, such as the Simulation Argument by Nick Bostrom (link below) in addition to many indications of observable evidence in QM and Special Relativity (SR), Cosmology, etc., to mention a few, that point to the possibility in question. Indications such as:
The above is obviously not an exhaustive list; consider it food for thought, but an intimate relationship between information theory and the structure of our reality is becoming very obvious and a few physicists (as early as Heisenberg) have made statements or hinted to that effect. However, those statements are very general and don’t give us any guidance as to where or if we should search for that relationship. I have my conjectures on the subject, which have lead me to the postulation of an immaterial ontology. You are welcome to download my papers from my profile page at RG, but I certainly would love to read your answers to the question, in favor or against. Please do not omit any references to related research, including your own.
Pre-thanks for your kind answers, Bernardo.
