I'm too lazy to listen to a podcast, but didn't Zuse originally come up with that hypothesis?

- karmakaze 11y agoWaiting for the TL;DL. What _is_ this evidence?
- karmakaze 11y agoMade it about 1/3 way through. Didn't hear anything new beyond the original hypothesis.
- chriswarbo 11y agoAFAIK Zuse's idea was 'digital physics', ie. that physical laws are algorithms and the Universe can be considered as a (completely standalone, not part of anything else) computer. Bostrom's idea is that the Universe is (probably) a simulation of something else, running on a computational device embedded inside another Universe.
