Where’s the evidence in this article that the universe is not a simulation-hologram?…And furthermore, is an announcement by Oak Ridge National Laboratory unveiling a new world’s fastest supercomputer, called Summit. Next U.S. exascale computer planned for 2021, china plans for 2020; however, Summit can already reach exascale speeds for certain applications.

A question is, how much better can this new supercomputer simulate the Big Bang and universe? And who know what supercomputers of the future can do?
