The probability for this being possible follows the probability of the Simulation hypothesis.

No. The simulation hypothesis doesn't require the ground level universe to have the same laws of physics as our own. This tracks with the much narrower idea of a Simulation hypothesis where the ground level universe has the same laws of physics as us.
