If A Robot Made The Universe …

How could we compute?

If a robot created the universe. Well, how could that be? We don’t know what created life, the universe, and everything – so it’s as possible as anything else. Just because we’re uncomfortable with the idea, doesn’t make it any less probable.

A lot of us might think, myself included, that we’re living and unique so no machine could replicate that. While that might be a reason that robots couldn’t re-create us, since we don’t know what made us unique in the first place, it’s not a reason a machine advanced enough couldn’t create us as we are now.

Then there’s the question of if the rest of the cosmos operates in perfect harmony. We don’t know exactly. Some say since it seems to, that’s proof of an ultimate creator. But what kind of creator??

If it’s too perfect, that might point to the computer rather than the supernatural. There are plenty of imperfections, though. So, whether mechanical or spiritual, the question is could one entity create a mostly perfect universe with precise imperfections to make it work exactly the way it’s supposed to?
