Does time really flow? New clues from intuitionist...
Even a Commodore 64 could simulate our universe given enough time and memory. Our only clock source is the passage of time itself so even if it was being simulated extremely slowly we would never notice.

Given enough energy, we ourself could snap a universe into existence as well by clapping our hands?

a c64 would need infinitely more memory to address the infinite memory. I'm not sure whether that means uncountably infinite memory

Not really. Imagine something like a Huffman encoding. Every node in a tree can have a finite address while the tree has infinitely many nodes.
