• ‟ Thinking of the universe as a computer is controversial.

  - Seth Lloyd
  

• ‟ 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
  

• ‟ 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
  

• ‟ 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
  

• ‟ 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
  

• ‟ Another feature that everybody notices about the universe is that it's complex.

  - Seth Lloyd
  

• ‟ 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
  

• ‟ 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
  

• ‟ 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.
