Chapter 15 intelligent universe

In 1969, Dr. Coster proposed an interesting way to understand the universe at an international scientific conference in London. He said that the entire universe is like a computer processing system for information. For example, pine nuts can be considered a program of the pine tree. We all know that all substances in the world are composed of atoms, and different atomic combinations and structures derive different substances in the universe. Dr. Coster pointed out that each atom is like a piece of computer programming hardware. This atomic piece is controlled by three factors in its form and function. The first is the number of protons in the nucleus, and the second is the number of electrons orbiting the nucleus. The third is the energy carried by electrons.

These atoms are the A, B, and C of the universe. Chemical substances such as lead, iron, and stone are words composed of these letters. s things. Genetic factors determine different life forms, the color of our eyes and hair, and the height, fatness, and thinness of our bodies are all derived from genetic factors. It is the seed of life and the mother of life. The reason why genetic factors are so well-informed is all because of the helical combination structure of deoxyribonucleic acid, just like a piece of computer software, different combinations tell a different story. The whole universe can also be understood in this way.

Is it because we invented the computer system for processing information that we can use this perspective to understand the nature of the universe; or is it because the nature of the universe is just like this, so we naturally and subconsciously imitate it, thus giving rise to the entire computer civilization.It's like the dilemma of which came first, the hen or the egg. When we see a computer, it's natural to wonder who made it.Well, now that we see that the entire universe may be tens of millions of times superior but still a computer, should we think that this is a masterpiece of an intelligent universe?
