Seth Lloyd Quotes : pic 000033539
Indeed, as the above calculation indicates, to take full advantage of the memory space available, the ultimate laptop must turn all its matter into energy. -- Seth Lloyd
Seth Lloyd Quotes : pic 000053033
Programmed by quanta, physics gave rise first to chemistry and then to life; programmed by mutations and recombination, life gave rise to Shakespeare; programmed by experience and imagination, Shakespeare gave rise to Hamlet. -- Seth Lloyd
Seth Lloyd Quotes : pic 000075782
Something else has happened with computers. -- Seth Lloyd
Seth Lloyd Quotes : pic 000167773
When you zap things with light to build quantum computers, you're hacking existing systems. You're hijacking the computation that's already happening in the universe, just like a hacker takes over someone else's computer. -- Seth Lloyd
Seth Lloyd Quotes : pic 000259305
For hundreds of millions of years, Sex was the most efficient method for propagating information of dubious provenance: the origins of all those snippets of junk DNA are lost in the sands of reproductive history. Move aside, Sex: the world-wide Web has usurped your role. -- Seth Lloyd
Seth Lloyd Quotes : pic 000273985
In order to figure out how to make atoms compute, you have to learn how to speak their language and to understand how they process information under normal circumstances. -- Seth Lloyd
Seth Lloyd Quotes : pic 000324783
[With quantum computers] you can calculate how many bits are in the universe, how much energy it takes to flip them, how much energy exists, and use that to rule out lots of things about the universe's history. Anything that takes more bit flips couldn't have happened. -- Seth Lloyd
Seth Lloyd Quotes : pic 000389894
We have a picture for how complexity arises, because if the universe is computationally capable, maybe we shouldn't be so surprised that things are so entirely out of control. -- Seth Lloyd
Seth Lloyd Quotes : pic 000436467
Of course, one way of thinking about all of life and civilization is as being about how the world registers and processes information. Certainly that's what sex is about; that's what history is about. -- Seth Lloyd
Seth Lloyd Quotes : pic 000442298
If you wanted to build the most powerful computer you could, you can't do better than including everything in the universe that's potentially available. -- Seth Lloyd
Seth Lloyd Quotes : pic 000675608
I would suggest, merely as a metaphor here, but also as the basis for a scientific program to investigate the computational capacity of the universe, that this is also a reasonable explanation for why the universe is complex. -- Seth Lloyd
Seth Lloyd Quotes : pic 000688565
Yes, I am a quantum mechanic! Those darn quantum computers break all the time. -- Seth Lloyd
Seth Lloyd Quotes : pic 000697835
All physical systems can be thought of as registering and processing information, and how one wishes to define computation will determine your view of what computation consists of. -- Seth Lloyd
Seth Lloyd Quotes : pic 000823390
Some folks think life and technology and mind can keep expanding forever. Others say it can't. We are still not clear on that. -- Seth Lloyd
Seth Lloyd Quotes : pic 000971155
When it comes to their capacity to screw things up, computers are becoming more human every day. -- Seth Lloyd
Seth Lloyd Quotes : pic 001015572
It's also a reasonable scientific program to look at the dynamics of the standard model and to try to prove from that dynamics that it is computationally capable. -- Seth Lloyd
Seth Lloyd Quotes : pic 001112462
In this metaphor we actually have a picture of the computational universe, a metaphor which I hope to make scientifically precise as part of a research program. -- Seth Lloyd
Seth Lloyd Quotes : pic 001136875
Instead of having to be a member of the Royal Society to do science, the way you had to be in England in the 17th, 18th, centuries today pretty much anybody who wants to do it can, and the information that they need to do it is there. -- Seth Lloyd
Seth Lloyd Quotes : pic 001174743
Of course, not everybody's willing to go out and do the experiments, but for the people who are willing to go out and do that, - if the experiments don't work, then it means it's not science. -- Seth Lloyd
Seth Lloyd Quotes : pic 001230393
Nothing in life is certain except death, taxes, and the second law of thermodynamics. -- Seth Lloyd
Seth Lloyd Quotes : pic 001232726
At some point, Moore's law will break down. -- Seth Lloyd
Seth Lloyd Quotes : pic 001237889
I have not proved that the universe is, in fact, a digital computer and that it's capable of performing universal computation, but it's plausible that it is. -- Seth Lloyd
Seth Lloyd Quotes : pic 001260252
Meaning is like pornography, you know it when you see it. -- Seth Lloyd
Seth Lloyd Quotes : pic 001296364
There are considerable advantages to using many degrees of freedom to store information, stability and controllability being perhaps the most important. -- Seth Lloyd
Seth Lloyd Quotes : pic 001337680
Similarly, another famous little quantum fluctuation that programs you is the exact configuration of your DNA. -- Seth Lloyd
Seth Lloyd Quotes : pic 001351409
One of the things that I've been doing recently in my scientific research is to ask this question: Is the universe actually capable of performing things like digital computations? -- Seth Lloyd
Seth Lloyd Quotes : pic 001466049
Quantum mechanics is weird. I don't understand it. Just live with it. You don't have to understand the nature of things in order to build cool devices. -- Seth Lloyd
Seth Lloyd Quotes : pic 001562057
Every physical system registers information, and just by evolving in time, by doing its thing, it changes that information, transforms that information, or, if you like, processes that information. -- Seth Lloyd
Seth Lloyd Quotes : pic 001592687
What's happened with society is that we have created these devices, computers, which already can register and process huge amounts of information, which is a significant fraction of the amount of information that human beings themselves, as a species, can process. -- Seth Lloyd
Seth Lloyd Quotes : pic 001616276
Computers are famous for being able to do complicated things starting from simple programs. -- Seth Lloyd
Seth Lloyd Quotes : pic 001658085
According to the standard model billions of years ago some little quantum fluctuation, perhaps a slightly lower density of matter, maybe right where we're sitting right now, caused our galaxy to start collapsing around here. -- Seth Lloyd
Seth Lloyd Quotes : pic 001732742
If you take a more Darwinian point of view the dynamics of the universe are such that as the universe evolved in time, complex systems arose out of the natural dynamics of the universe. -- Seth Lloyd
Seth Lloyd Quotes : pic 001733318
A classical computation is like a solo voice - one line of pure tones succeeding each other. A quantum computation is like a symphony - many lines of tones interfering with one another. -- Seth Lloyd
Seth Lloyd Quotes : pic 001733323
The history of the universe is, in effect, a huge and ongoing quantum computation. The universe is a quantum computer. -- Seth Lloyd
Seth Lloyd Quotes : pic 001741002
Bits of ignorance are like viruses that are copied and spread by interaction. -- Seth Lloyd
Seth Lloyd Quotes : pic 001744695
By separating the function of adaptation from the function of maintaining the integrity of individual genes, sex allows much greater diversity while still keeping genes whole. Sex is not only fun, it is good engineering practice. -- Seth Lloyd
Seth Lloyd Quotes : pic 001748259
Another feature that everybody notices about the universe is that it's complex. -- Seth Lloyd
Seth Lloyd Quotes : pic 001750659
The significance of a bit depends not just on its value but on how that value affects other bits over time, as part of the continued information processing that makes up the dynamical evolution of the universe. -- Seth Lloyd
Seth Lloyd Quotes : pic 001767649
The amount of information that can be stored by the ultimate laptop, 10 to the 31st bits, is much higher than the 10 to the 10th bits stored on current laptops. -- Seth Lloyd
Seth Lloyd Quotes : pic 001806068
Merely by existing and evolving in time - by existing - any physical system registers information, and by evolving in time it transforms or processes that information. -- Seth Lloyd
Seth Lloyd Quotes : pic 001819923
Science consists exactly of those forms of knowledge that can be verified and duplicated by anybody. -- Seth Lloyd
Seth Lloyd Quotes : pic 001833733
Thinking of the universe as a computer is controversial. -- Seth Lloyd
