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

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 wanted to build the most powerful computer you could, you can't do better than including everything in the universe that's potentially available.

Of course, one way of thinking about all of life and civilization is as being about how the world registers and processes information. Certainly that's what sex is about; that's what history is about.

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.

Bits of ignorance are like viruses that are copied and spread by interaction.
