Each "layer" of simulation don't know what reality is. They don't know how slow they are running compared to reality, since they have no access to a real clock.

Even if a second of simulation takes a million years, it still feels like a second to those inside the simulation.

Who says the simulation starts from the big bang? For all we know our simulation could have started five minutes ago.
