Obviously that "something" is the float type used to calculate the simulation. Probably some ultra dimensional IEEE style spec that some CPU vendor intern booked anyways. ;)

Your mistake is that you didn't pony up for the "double" feature in your personal universe.
Im pretty sure my math is right here, so… It would be more appropriate to say they failed to shell out for the 256 bit processor. Because at 256 bits per int a vector of 3 ints can easily encodes any location in the observable universe as Planck length coordinates.
Ya, but the observable universe only exists for cache locality reasons. You dont want to have to transfer information across too many processors as your bus bandwidth limited. The actual universe is much larger.
