Assuming we lived in a closed universe, could the computing power
available at the Big Crunch be enough to simulate realities (the current
visible universe) to an arbitrary degree of precision ie down to the
Planck scale?

I believe the holographic principle puts Tiplers scenario in serious
trouble. If the total amount of information contained inside the ever
shrinking universe is constrained by the fact that that quantity of
information must be able to be represented in bits on the surface of
that universe with the maximum being the number of planck areas/4
available on that surface as the holographic principle suggests, as the
big crunch approaches and the surface area decreases, the computing
power of this universe will also decrease. This of course assumes the
validity of the HP.
