Instead of having to be a member of the Royal Society to do science, the way you had to be in England in the 17th, 18th, centuries today pretty much anybody who wants to do it can, and the information that they need to do it is there. ↗

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. ↗

Merely by existing and evolving in time - by existing - any physical system registers information, and by evolving in time it transforms or processes that information. ↗

Of course, not everybody's willing to go out and do the experiments, but for the people who are willing to go out and do that, - if the experiments don't work, then it means it's not science. ↗

Science consists exactly of those forms of knowledge that can be verified and duplicated by anybody. ↗

Similarly, another famous little quantum fluctuation that programs you is the exact configuration of your DNA. ↗

The amount of information that can be stored by the ultimate laptop, 10 to the 31st bits, is much higher than the 10 to the 10th bits stored on current laptops. ↗

There are considerable advantages to using many degrees of freedom to store information, stability and controllability being perhaps the most important. ↗

Thinking of the universe as a computer is controversial. ↗

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. ↗
