Seeing as the universe appears to be composed of elementary particles whose behavior can be completely described by the quantum switches they undergo that implies that the universe as a whole can be described by bits. Every state is information and every change of state is a change in information. From this it can be said that the history of the universe is in effect a huge and ongoing quantum computation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"> <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/lifeboat.com\/blog\/2017\/02\/the-quantum-world-of-digital-physics-can-a-virtual-reality-be-real\">Continue reading \u201cThe Quantum World of Digital Physics: Can a Virtual Reality be Real?\u201d | &gt;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Playlist: Do We Live in a Simulated Reality?
