摘要翻译：
这篇哲学论文探讨了现代科学模拟与宇宙未来之间的关系。我们认为，未来的科学活动将导致对整个宇宙的模拟。这就要求我们在一个单一的模拟中解决在所有层次上模拟开放式进化的挑战。模拟不仅应包括生物进化，还应包括物理进化（低于一个层次）和文化进化（高于一个层次）。模拟将允许我们探索如果我们用相同或不同的定律和初始条件“重播宇宙的磁带”会发生什么。我们还区分了真实世界和人工世界的建模。假设智慧生命真的可以模拟整个宇宙，这就引出了两个试探性的假设。一些作者认为，我们可能已经处于一个由智能实体运行的模拟中。或者，如果这样的模拟能够成为现实，这将导致一个新宇宙的产生。最后一个方向是用一种谨慎的思辨哲学方法来争论的，强调在宇宙学中找到热死问题的解决方案的必要性。请读者查阅附件1，以了解本文的逻辑结构概述。--关键词：遥远的未来，科学的未来，ALife，模拟，实现，宇宙学，热死，微调，物理末世论，宇宙学自然选择，宇宙学人工选择，人工宇宙发生，自私的生物宇宙假说，人择原理，发展奇点假说，智慧生命的作用。

英文摘要：
This philosophical paper explores the relation between modern scientific simulations and the future of the universe. We argue that a simulation of an entire universe will result from future scientific activity. This requires us to tackle the challenge of simulating open-ended evolution at all levels in a single simulation. The simulation should encompass not only biological evolution, but also physical evolution (a level below) and cultural evolution (a level above). The simulation would allow us to probe what would happen if we would "replay the tape of the universe" with the same or different laws and initial conditions. We also distinguish between real-world and artificial-world modelling. Assuming that intelligent life could indeed simulate an entire universe, this leads to two tentative hypotheses. Some authors have argued that we may already be in a simulation run by an intelligent entity. Or, if such a simulation could be made real, this would lead to the production of a new universe. This last direction is argued with a careful speculative philosophical approach, emphasizing the imperative to find a solution to the heat death problem in cosmology. The reader is invited to consult Annex 1 for an overview of the logical structure of this paper. -- Keywords: far future, future of science, ALife, simulation, realization, cosmology, heat death, fine-tuning, physical eschatology, cosmological natural selection, cosmological artificial selection, artificial cosmogenesis, selfish biocosm hypothesis, meduso-anthropic principle, developmental singularity hypothesis, role of intelligent life.
