The primary consequence of the computational nature of the universe is that the universe naturally generates complex systems, such as life. Although… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
Nothing in life is certain except death, taxes and the second law of thermodynamics. All three are processes in which useful or… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
Nothing in life is certain except death, taxes, and the second law of thermodynamics. — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
Every physical system registers information, and just by evolving in time, by doing its thing, it changes that information, transforms that information, or, if… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
“The significance of a bit depends not just on its value but on how that value affects other bits over time, as part of… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
[With quantum computers] you can calculate how many bits are in the universe, how much energy it takes to flip them, how much energy… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
In this metaphor we actually have a picture of the computational universe, a metaphor which I hope to make scientifically precise as part of… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
Yes, I am a quantum mechanic! Those darn quantum computers break all the time. — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
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… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
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 Copy Share Image
There are considerable advantages to using many degrees of freedom to store information, stability and controllability being perhaps the most important. — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
When it comes to their capacity to screw things up, computers are becoming more human every day. — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
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… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
Some folks think life and technology and mind can keep expanding forever. Others say it can't. We are still not clear on that. — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
![“[With quantum computers] you can calculate how many bits are in the universe, how much energy it takes to flip them, how much energy exists, and use that to rule out lots of things about the universe's history. Anything that takes more bit flips couldn't have happened.” quote by Seth Lloyd](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/976/seth-lloyd-13748_bits_with-quantum-computers-you-can-calculate_133222.jpg)
