So they didn't use an object-oriented programming language, they used a functional programming language.

  Yes, and that's precisely my hypothesis :)

    Should have stated in the post that it's your hypothesis
    • photon_lines 3y ago
      Well...sort of. The last part is my hypothesis. The first part isn't. Particles don't have a trajectory (location and momentum) within spacetime in the normal way we think of them as having. This has been known for a very long time :)

  Easier to parallelize and without all the side effects, which only occur when trying to directly observe them.

  No they used the equivalent of a crazy, maybe infinitely, dense “bit” and all “programming” is things invented by the human brain to model this unknowable “objective” architecture. The universe isn’t actually a computer and even if it is it’s a computer so beyond us that computer science isn’t adequate to describe it.

  Functional lisp I think God used

    Nominally. In reality most of it is just a bunch of perl scripts stiched together.
