Let me be quick and short here.

You must have heard of the Olbers Paradox (or not), which states that the sky should be completely white if the universe was infinite. One answer to that paradox is that the speed of light is constant, and light from distant stars hasn’t reached us yet due to the universe’s expansion.

Let’s consider a hypothetical scenario: We’ve created a simulation of a smaller version of our world and want to prevent the inhabitants from exploring incomplete areas. Voilà! The constant speed of light acts as a natural barrier.

This constant limits how far we can see into (or out of) the universe. I’m by no means an expert, I’m just a humble Sri Lankan guy learning to write blog articles. This is my first proper one.

Think about this on your own time. I didn’t expand on the ideas much or structure it well, but I wanted to share before I forgot. If you want to discuss more or anything else, reach out via my socials.
