Three decades before the 1st MATRIX movie and the 13th Floor, the Moody Blues had a song about the nature of reality and the world control $Y$TEM. A time not that long after when the Jefferson_Airplane was playing at a place called The_Matrix_(club).

No wonder it's impossible to simulate the entire universe. There is just such a tremendous amount of unknown data and variables.

While reasonably accurate simulations of other worlds are possible, even a weather modeling supercomputer will have its limitations.

However, it's so much easier to run various semi-accurate simulations of the Earth. While the Earth has a lot of variables, approximate simulations are possible.
