Seth Lloyd quote: "Computers are famous for being able to do complicated things..."
Computers are famous for being able to do complicated things starting from simple programs. Seth Lloyd
In this metaphor we actually have a picture of the computational universe, a metaphor which I hope to make scientifically precise as part of a research program. Seth Lloyd
All physical systems can be thought of as registering and processing information, and how one wishes to define computation will determine your view of what computation consists of. Seth Lloyd
We have a picture for how complexity arises, because if the universe is computationally capable, maybe we shouldn't be so surprised that things are so entirely out of control. Seth Lloyd
In order to figure out how to make atoms compute, you have to learn how to speak their language and to understand how they process information under normal circumstances. Seth Lloyd
If you wanted to build the most powerful computer you could, you can't do better than including everything in the universe that's potentially available. Seth Lloyd
Seth Lloyd quote: "Thinking of the universe as a computer is controversial."
Thinking of the universe as a computer is controversial. Seth Lloyd
What's happened with society is that we have created these devices, computers, which already can register and process huge amounts of information, which is a significant fraction of the amount of information that human beings themselves, as a species, can process. Seth Lloyd
One of the things that I've been doing recently in my scientific research is to ask this question: Is the universe actually capable of performing things like digital computations? Seth Lloyd
I would suggest, merely as a metaphor here, but also as the basis for a scientific program to investigate the computational capacity of the universe, that this is also a reasonable explanation for why the universe is complex. Seth Lloyd
It's also a reasonable scientific program to look at the dynamics of the standard model and to try to prove from that dynamics that it is computationally capable. Seth Lloyd
I have not proved that the universe is, in fact, a digital computer and that it's capable of performing universal computation, but it's plausible that it is. Seth Lloyd
Seth Lloyd quote: "Something else has happened with computers."
Something else has happened with computers. Seth Lloyd
