The universe is made of bits of information and it has been known for more than a century that every piece of the the universe - every electron atom and molecule - registers these bits and that information. It is only in the last years however with the discovery and development of quantum computers that scientists have gained a fundamental understanding of just how that information is registered and processed.
Building on recent breakthroughs in quantum computation Seth Lloyd shows how the universe itself is a giant computer. Every atom and elementary particle stores these bits and every collision between those atoms and particles flips the bits into a new arrangement and effortlessly spins out beautiful and complex systems including galaxies planets and life itself.
But every computer needs a program the set of instructions that tell it what patterns to create. Where did the bits come from that tell the universe to create its magnificent complexity? Who - or what - is programming the universe?
