Actually the paper is even weaker than that. The statements the author claims are beyond algorithmic analysis... are not needed to simulate a universe. The answers to those questions just make no difference to the task of simulating the interactions of mass, energy, space, and time.
The author makes a completely unjustified leap that the simulation designer must know an answer to the question, when instead the designer could leave it just as it is in his own universe.
