I've been looking for YEARS for someone who remembered Monstruos del Espacio. I didn't remember the name of the series but every time I told someone about it (the family of aliens who turned into rockets and the guy with the whistle), they looked at me as if I were crazy. Thank you for giving me a pointer to prove my sanity!
Actually, you don't have to simulate all of the atoms. All the simulation would have to include is whatever I am perceiving at a particular moment in time. All of these Slashdot responses are actually simulated messages, created by the Matrix to simulate the fact that there is actually someone else besides me in the simulation. As a matter of fact, there is no way for anyone to prove to anyone else that they are, in fact, real, and not just a simulation created specifically.
Remember the old Radio Shack Model III? Waaaaaayyy back in prehistory (the early '80s, guess I'm dating myself!). Roaring fast 4 MHz Z80 CPU...oodles of RAM (48K)...5 1/4" floppy drives where you actually had to punch through the disk envelope to use both sides... those were the days... You could even write in lowercase!!!!!
