@CurlOfGradient A short program generates all possible universes w/ our phys, but I will bite the bullet harder-- our U takes few bits, too.
@MoralOfStory Just a couple thousand lines of code for the laws of physics, and then 10^80 bits for the initial conditions. If you mean 1/2

@CurlOfGradient Great, my estimate is < 10^12 bits, let's say 10^18 just to be *absurdly* conservative. -
@MoralOfStory My 10^80 estimate is from moving each atom in the universe, after they have condensed out of the quark-gluon plasma, one unit. - 10 more replies

@MoralOfStory it contains one Earth, the rest be damned, maybe less, and if the universe were truly infinite then maybe even less. -
@MoralOfStory Though you'd be hard pressed to fit an infinite universe in a computer.
