The nature of a paradigm shift is that it recasts all the existing laws of nature as special cases of a more powerful, more general model of reality.
Who knows, maybe we'll find that we actually are living in a simulation and then figure out how to hack the matrix. The idea of "travel" and "time" would become obsolete then; you'd just poke new values for your wave function into the simulation's RAM.
This seems implausible for many reasons, it seems more likely that if we're living in a simulation, we'll have trouble figuring out how to proloxify the feeblegarps.
Yes. The idea is that if we "break out" of whatever simulation we purportedly exist within, none of the concepts in the enclosing universe would make any sense to us.
(I happened to be watching How A Plumbus is Made when I wrote the comment, btw).
