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

All physical systems can be thought of as registering and processing information, and how one wishes to define computation will determine your view of what computation consists of.

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

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.

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.

Every physical system registers information, and just by evolving in time, by doing its thing, it changes that information, transforms that information, or, if you like, processes that information.

Yes, I am a quantum mechanic! Those darn quantum computers break all the time.
