The 0.1fps time scale makes no difference to people living within this minecraft universe. From their perspective a second is a second and a day is a day. Funny.

See Greg Egan's PERMUTATION CITY for more on that.



My first thought exactly. This essay by Hans Moravec is also a great exposition for similar idea: https://frc.ri.cmu.edu/~hpm/project.archive/general.articles...

Came here for the awesome project, came out with a book recommendation.

Thank you HN!


Permutation City is one of the best Sci-Fi books I've ever read. Would definitely recommend.
