Their findings, published in the Journal of Holography Applications in Physics, go beyond simply suggesting that we're not living in a simulated world like The Matrix. They prove something far more profound: the universe is built on a type of understanding that exists beyond the reach of any algorithm.

Certainly, the article alone doesn't convince us that the authors understand anything about the issue. You can't have a mathematical proof of something that's outside the scope of the system that the math is describing.
