From our perspective, sure. But we wouldn’t know if it was stopped and started running again, or if it was reverted to a previous state.

The uptime is too good to be a simulation. It has an uptime of like 14 billions years! AWS has a lot of catching up to do. /s

Or, if malware was inserted in, say, 1933 or 2016.

But would we even notice an outage? Like hitting pause on a simulation and restarting it. There could be nightly maintenance and we may never know. Or maybe that’s what deja vu is after all…

Yes, just like Minecraft worlds are so antiquated given how they contain diamonds in deep layers that must have taken a billion years to form.
What a simulated world contains as its local timescale doesn’t mean the actual non-local run time is the same.
It’s quite possible to create a world that appears to be billions of years old but only booted up seconds ago.
