You're not going to believe this, but James Gates, one of Obama's top science advisers, found error-correcting computer code in the equations of superstring theory!

I guess Nick Bostrom was right. I can't believe it. The Matrix is real!

You should have realized that the universe ran on code a long time ago.

Shit, I realized this when I started learning how to program.

Is this a joke? Why doesn't the video show anything? What the hell does he mean, computer code inside of an equation?

The universe runs on codes (laws)....... But this has nothing to do with us living in a Matrix world....

I guess the question I have is whether or not the language he compared this too is based on any sort of first principles or if it's just some random language. Just like you can develop intricate "codes" from the Bible or Moby Dick, this could just be another case of humans desperately searching for patterns.

You don't have to be desperate when searching for patterns in the natural world.

Here's the paper for those interested:
