If you think about it, the Universe is like a giant processor full of randomness, optimizations and logic.
Then add “self-aware” beings and the process goes to an entirely different level.
One of my theories is that WE ARE a processor for something that we cannot comprehend
It’s not inconceivable that you can feed “data” into the Universe at one end and come up with an “output” at the other end based on all the logical laws/properties (time, matter, gravity, energy, etc).
The process seems slow to us, but to another observer a billion years may be like one nanosecond!
And if his mother walks into the room he's going to hit the delete button on us all.
