Hm. To simulate the entire universe, I can see that. But what if all that is being simulated is us and our perception of the universe. Then all you need is enough computing power to simulate billions of human brains, including their sensory input. Assuming they're all being fully simulated and aren't mostly extras.
I find it hard to believe, but can't think of a way to falsify it.
