If the laws of the universe can be reduced to binary code, say, on a subatomic level, there might be no actual difference between the universe and the computer. Take 3-D software for instance. In order for objects to move through space and time convincingly, the software needs to have the laws of physics installed into it.
If the physics are the same, then maybe, as in the case of the atom bomb, computing hacked into the deep structure of the universe, and that’s what we peer into each day through screens.
