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.

We have demonstrated that it is impossible to describe all aspects of physical reality using a computational theory of quantum gravity ...

Okay, but isn't that just evidence that the theory of quantum gravity doesn't actually describe our universe?

I'm getting real Principal Skinner vibes from this. "Is our theory so out of touch? No, it's reality that is wrong."
