# Does the Universe have a Hard Drive?

## TL;DR

The paper explores an information paradox in a fully quantum universe viewed as a quantum computer, discussing potential resolutions like non-deterministic laws or classical gravity, with an interdisciplinary and accessible approach.

## Contribution

It introduces a novel perspective by framing the universe as a quantum computer and discusses possible solutions to the information paradox.

## Key findings

- Identifies an information paradox in a quantum universe model
- Proposes that non-deterministic laws could resolve the paradox
- Suggests gravity might be classical to avoid the paradox

## Abstract

We discuss an apparent information paradox that arises in a materialist's description of the Universe if we assume that the Universe is 100% quantum. We discuss possible ways out of the paradox, including that Laws of Nature are not purely deterministic, or that gravity is classical. Our observation of the paradox stems from an interdisciplinary thought process whereby the Universe can be viewed as a "quantum computer". Our presentation is intentionally nontechnical to make it accessible to as wide a readership base as possible.
