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. ↗

If you take a more Darwinian point of view the dynamics of the universe are such that as the universe evolved in time, complex systems arose out of the natural dynamics of the universe. ↗

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. ↗

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. ↗

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. ↗

Science fiction made me aware of how big and strange the universe was, leaving aside the whole question of aliens. ↗

I know that people will remember me as Miss Universe because it was my first great achievement, but I still have my whole career ahead of me. ↗

Just as it had taken centuries to determine the true nature of the universe, so also the search for the beginning of human life proceeded well into the 20th century. ↗
