I mean, like, okay, this, you know, my little water bottle here.

Right.

But yet, it's one of these fundamental principles of quantum mechanics.

And this is why Niels Bohr, who's one of the forefathers of quantum mechanics, said, if you're not shocked by the quantum theory, then you haven't understood it.

Because what it's saying is really strange.

It's saying that the observation itself...

The other 18 quintillion minus one worlds don't have to be rendered on your computer.

So some people use kind of what I call the brute force method of estimating.

And they say, well, there's too many particles.

Our best supercomputer today couldn't keep track of all those particles.

But the fact is that it doesn't have to render all of those particles.

It only needs to render those parts which are being observed by one person.

And then when they're observed by the next person...

There's something we call caching, which is that we store it on the server.

So now that's available to multiple people.

So as long as people are there, then that gets rendered, but only the parts that are necessary.

So only that which is observed by your avatar is what needs to be rendered.

And

To me, looking at this weirdness of quantum mechanics and looking at what we do and how we build video games.

If you tried to build Fortnite or World of Warcraft or No Man's Sky back in the 80s when I was a kid, you wouldn't be able to.
