I'm not an expert on the subject, but from my understanding a Turing machine is insufficient to simulate physics. [Bell's theorem](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell%27s_theorem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell%27s_theorem) proves that quantum physics is truly random, as opposed to being a deterministic system that we just can't measure precisely enough. A Turing machine is unable to compute a truly random number so therefore there could be quantum phenomenon that a Von Neumann machine cannot simulate.
It's not proven that consciousness can be simulated by a Turing machine. There's a possibility consciousness requires some hypercomputation to simulate
