Let us also reflect on the honorable service of our men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces currently serving our country overseas in Iraq and Afghanistan, and around the world. ↗

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 that it is. ↗

Another feature that everybody notices about the universe is that it's complex. ↗

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. ↗

I believe in aliens. I think it would be way too selfish of us as mankind to believe we are the only lifeforms in the universe. ↗
