Electron probability density clouds don't really count as empty space OP.

/sci/ posts consist of 99.999999999% of shitposts.

That means: the 4chan board you're looking at, the threads in there, and your post

are mostly NOT /SCI/

just because you can't determine momentum and location at the same time doesn't mean, there is something like a 'probability density cloud'

Best analogy ive heard is an atom is comparable to a gumball in the middle of a football field (the nucleus) and there being flecks in the uper stands (the electrons) and it moves at about 246,000 parsecs

Parsecs is a unit of distance. Please be trolling.

>You can't go faster than light due to the physical properties of the universe
WRONG! You can have an average velocity faster than light just not an instantaneous one.
>>You can make a computer that can simulate the universe
WRONG!, at least for a perfect simulation, i suppose you could do an approximation.
>You can go anywhere in that simulation instantly
WRONG! Access time would be non-zero.
>Computer is built out of the same stuff as everything else in this universe and thus subject to the same laws as you
Correct, hence why you're so fucking WRONG.

Information can't go FTL. Everything else is pedantic nonsense.
Nobody said a "perfect" simulation.
A simulation doesn't need to have the same clock as the real world, in fact they never do.
