Digital physics is a speculative idea suggesting that the universe can be conceived of as a vast, digital computation device, or as the output of a deterministic or probabilistic computer program. The hypothesis that the universe is a digital computer was proposed by Konrad Zuse in his 1969 book Rechnender Raum (Calculating-space). The term "digital physics" was coined in 1978 by Edward Fredkin, who later came to prefer the term "digital philosophy". Fredkin taught a graduate course called "digital physics" at MIT in 1978, and collaborated with Tommaso Toffoli on "conservative logic" while Norman Margolus served as a graduate student in his research group.
