The first of many, the matrioshka brain directs the entire energy output of a star into a supercomputer inadequately described as enormous. The processing power of this device is such that it can simulate entire universes.

    Dividing by zero just creates and Infinite value, not some universe ending blast.

    Thats called a Logic Bomb, it does not only simulate but also destroy whole universes xD

    Wonder what would happen if it calculated calculating Divided by zero.

    A device like this could predict the locations of galaxys if given the starting conditions of the uiverse.

    It's impossible for a computer to similate itself and anything else. Each circuit would have to simulate itself, leaving nothing to process anything else. I used the "The processing power of this device is such that it can simulate entire universes" as a way to say it could simulate octillions of particles.

    @the_new_powder99999 That's not really what simulating an entire universe entails...

    It is a network of supercomputers arranged in a dyson sphere, powered by the star.

    How does it simulate entire universes? Wouldn't that mean it could simulate itself simulating itself eternally? I guess it simulates universes much much smaller than ours.
