It is fun to think about the Simulation Theory but most discussions revolve around it being likely that we are in one.

What are some concrete reasons why it’s all science fiction and not reality?

    That’s not…no. Not at all.

    The uncertainty principle doesn’t have anything to do with the double slit experiment.

    The uncertainty principle is that you can’t know both the position and momentum of a quantum at the same time. The more you know of one the less you know of the other.

    The double slit has to do with superposition and wave particle duality.

    They have a similar quality of weirdness, but are entirely different principles and concepts.

    And it’s worth noting almost no physicists would agree with the way you interpret it at the end. That is one way of solving Bell’s paradox, but the rejection of realism is probably only slightly more popular than the rejection of free will. Generally it’s assumed that quanta absolutely are there before interacted with or observed.
