“IT ALWAYS BOTHERS ME THAT, ACCORDING TO THE LAWS AS WE UNDERSTAND THEM TODAY, IT TAKES A COMPUTING MACHINE AN INFINITE NUMBER OF LOGICAL OPERATIONS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT GOES ON IN NO MATTER HOW TINY A REGION OF SPACE, AND NO MATTER HOW TINY A REGION OF TIME. HOW CAN ALL THAT BE GOING ON IN THAT TINY SPACE ? WHY SHOULD IT TAKE AN INFINITE AMOUNT OF LOGIC TO FIGURE OUT WHAT ONE TINY PIECE OF SPACE/TIME IS GOING TO DO? SO I HAVE OFTEN MADE THE HYPOTHESIS THAT ULTIMATELY PHYSICS WILL NOT REQUIRE A MATHEMATICAL STATEMENT, THAT IN THE END THE MACHINERY WILL BE REVEALED, AND THE LAWS WILL TURN OUT TO BE SIMPLE, LIKE THE CHEQUER BOARD WITH ALL ITS APPARENT COMPLEXITIES. BUT”
― RICHARD FEYNMAN, THE CHARACTER OF PHYSICAL LAW
