It will be about that time when we have the computational abilities to run are own ancestor simulations. This will cause stacking of simulations upon simulations eating up all the computational resources of the parent reality.
I'm pretty sure it would just mean there's a more strict limit to the simulations we can run if they use up the computational resources of the universe. It would be a pretty poorly designed simulation if it was that easy to grind it to a halt from within when a simple limit on the computational density the sims can achieve is imposed.

I have those Bibles, the word regret is not in them, why the word is used by that site is beyond me. I just went to Strong's which has every word in the scriptures. Regret is not in the entirety of the Bible, if it were a Hebrew or Greek word used in the scriptures it would be used in Strong's. So I regret to tell you that your search has failed miserably. The word used in the manuscripts is 'nacham,' meaning to be sorry, to pity, to console. Seems regret is not a part of this Hebrew word. You see when challenged I will go farther, unlike you, why, because you are not interested in the truth just the deception that makes you feel good about being wrong. As for using your own definition for sorry doesn't work, the Hebrew in this case doesn't support it. You scream that Christians can't admit when they are wrong, it's you who can't, notice I did not say atheist, because some have and recently.
