I find it funny how people are so ready to believe the universe must be computing the same way our models must. The universe simply exists - it's not necessary for it to adhere to our human perceptions - not be a long shot. There's a vast gulf between the model and the modeled. That our theories quickly become uncomputable says more about their unfitness than the universe's functioning. To say otherwise is to negate the fundamental autonomy of the universe. We should be humbled by the universe precisely because our best models to understand it quickly diverge to where our minds and tools may not.
- selestify 8y agoWhat autonomy does the universe possess?
- commentor10 8y agoFor one, it exists before any of our feeble explanations of how it works. It's always correct and we try to play catch up.
