Computers Quote by David Walton

The history of the universe is, in effect, a huge and ongoing quantum computation. The universe is a quantum computer.

— Seth Lloyd

We couldn't build quantum computers unless the universe were quantum and computing. We can build such machines because the universe is storing and processing…

“The fact that our Universe (together with the entire Level III multiverse) may be simulatable by a quite short computer program calls into question…

— Max Tegmark

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…

“Under the simulation hypothesis, computations evolve our Universe, but under the MUH they merely describe it by evaluating its relations.”

— Max Tegmark

The universe is a gigantic non-spatial computer.

— Kedar Joshi

The primary consequence of the computational nature of the universe is that the universe naturally generates complex systems, such as life. Although the basic…

If one just tried to invent a universe on one's own, it would probably end up being a much less colorful and interesting universe…

— Alan Guth

I would suggest, merely as a metaphor here, but also as the basis for a scientific program to investigate the computational capacity of the…

— 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…

— Seth Lloyd

Thinking of the universe as a computer is controversial.

— 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…
