Computational Universe

The Computational Universe is a concept suggesting that the universe operates like a vast computer, where physical processes can be understood as computations or information processing. This idea proposes that the fundamental rules of nature—like physics and chemistry—are akin to algorithms, and the universe's behavior emerges from information processing at its core. In essence, it views the cosmos not just as matter and energy, but as a computational system, allowing scientists to explore the universe’s mysteries through the lens of computer science, algorithms, and information theory.
