“...the mind is more powerful than any imaginable particle accelerator, more sensitive than any radio receiver or the largest optical telescope, more complete in its grasp of information than any computer: the human body- its organs, its voice, its powers of locomotion, and its imagination- is a more-than-sufficient means for the exploration of any place, time or energy level in the universe.” MindHumansMeanBodyUniverseEnergyVoiceImaginationLevelsPowerfulWonderInformationComputerRadioSensitiveSufficientExplorationOrgansHuman BodyParticlesTelescopesReceiverEnergy Levels Author:Terence McKenna
“When you zap things with light to build quantum computers, you're hacking existing systems. You're hijacking the computation that's already happening in the universe, just like a hacker takes over someone else's computer.” LightUniverseComputerHappeningsQuantumHackingHackersComputationHijacking Author:Seth Lloyd
“[With quantum computers] you can calculate how many bits are in the universe, how much energy it takes to flip them, how much energy exists, and use that to rule out lots of things about the universe's history. Anything that takes more bit flips couldn't have happened.” UseUniverseEnergyBitsHappenedComputerQuantumFlip Author:Seth Lloyd
“We couldn't build quantum computers unless the universe were quantum and computing. We can build such machines because the universe is storing and processing information in the quantum realm. When we build quantum computers, we're hijacking that underlying computation in order to make it do things we want: little and/or/not calculations. We're hacking into the universe.” WantLittlesOrderUniverseInformationComputerMachinesRealmsQuantumCalculationsProcessingHackingComputingComputationHijacking Author:Seth Lloyd

“Shook is the musical universe I created. I come from a classical and jazz background and my father is a jazz pianist, so my world bears largely the marks of this influence. As a sort of gateway, I started composing my own music on the computer at the age of 13. Before Shook, I had not yet discovered the kind of music I wanted to dedicate myself to, so I did a little of everything.” WorldKindLittlesAgeWantedUniverseFatherMy OwnInfluenceBearsComputerMarkJazzMusicalBackgroundsComposingPianistGateways Author:Shook
