[M.D. Holloway]

Edward Fredkin proposed a new theory of physics....that reality should not be considered particles and forces but rather bits of data modified according to computational rules. His thesis is based on a new view of reality, instead of the analytical approach most associated with traditional math like differential equations, rather its defined according to a computational approach associated with algorithms.

While his ideas are very interesting, temper them with the fact that he also believes the universe is something like a computer developed to solve a problem of sorts.
