The history of the universe is, in effect, a huge and ongoing quantum computation. The universe is a quantum computer. — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
Computers are good at swift, accurate computation and at storing great masses of information. The brain, on the other hand, is notas… — Jeremy Campbell Copy Share Image
Ladies are always of great use to the party they espouse, and never fail to win over numbers to it. Lovers, according… — Joseph Addison Copy Share Image
The moral, then, is that familiar categories of behavior - marriage customs, food taboos, folk superstitions, and so on - certainly do… — Steven Pinker Copy Share Image
Understanding is, after all, what science is all about — and science is a great deal more than mindless computation. — Roger Penrose Copy Share Image
When the aggregate amount of solid matter transported by rivers in a given number of centuries from a large continent, shall be… — Charles Lyell Copy Share Image
“It's always seemed like a big mystery how nature, seemingly so effortlessly, manages to produce so much that seems to us so… — Stephen Wolfram Copy Share Image
Computation involves going from a question to an answer. Mathematics involves going from an answer to a question. — Peter Hilton Copy Share Image
We live beyond words, as also we live beyond computation and beyond theory. — Wendell Berry Copy Share Image
The underlying physical laws necessary for the mathematical theory of a large part of physics and the whole of chemistry are thus… — Paul Dirac Copy Share Image
Mathematics is much more than computation with pencil and a paper and getting answers to routine exercises. In fact, it can easily… — John A. Van de Walle Copy Share Image
All physical systems can be thought of as registering and processing information, and how one wishes to define computation will determine your… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
What would it be like if, right in the midst of this busyness, we were to consciously take our hands off the… — Tara Brach Copy Share Image
Lately Ive been working to convince myself that everything is a computation. — Rudy Rucker Copy Share Image

I spent 20 years doing research on regular and irregular verbs, not because I'm an obsessive language lover but because it seemed… — Steven Pinker Copy Share Image
Human beings are distinguished by a capacity for experience as well as by their behavior, and homosexuality is as much a matter… — Dennis Altman Copy Share Image
We couldn't build quantum computers unless the universe were quantum and computing. We can build such machines because the universe is storing… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
What's needed now are software technologies that interconnect computing systems, people and data to produce more rapid answers to the questions of… — Bob Muglia Copy Share Image
The destiny of man is not measured by material computations. When great forces are on the move in the world, we learn… — Anonymous Copy Share Image
If you think of your life as a kind of computation, it's quite abundantly clear that there's not going to be a… — Rudy Rucker Copy Share Image
But biology and computer science - life and computation - are related. I am confident that at their interface great discoveries await… — Leonard Adleman Copy Share Image
One of the things that I've been doing recently in my scientific research is to ask this question: Is the universe actually… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
