If you can’t program it, you haven’t understood it.

To me quantum computation is a new and deeper and better way to understand the laws of physics, and hence understanding physical reality as a whole.

Discovering a new explanation is inherently an act of creativity.

Feeling insignificant because the universe is large has exactly the same logic as feeling inadequate for not being a cow.

If we can't program it, we can't understand it.

The overwhelming majority of theories are rejected because they contain bad explanations, not because they fail experimental tests.

If you reject the infinite, you are stuck with the finite, and the finite is parochial... the best explanation of anything eventually involves universality, and therefore infinity. The reach of explanations cannot be limited by fiat.
