Empirical Evidence that the World Is Not a Computer

摘要: In this chapter, I assess the hypothesis that world is a computing device. According to hypothesis, programs or algorithms running on device generate numerical values of physical parameters, including empirical data sets we collect in course observations and measurements science. shall argue entails testable prediction, namely form algorithmically compressible strings. The discovery are incompressible would therefore refute hypothesis. already have good evidence some incompressible, from which conclude can rule out
