How Computation Actually Works: The Feynman Lectures You Didn't Know Existed

Now, you might think that computing is something for the business office or the fellow with the green eyeshade, but if you look closely at what's going on inside those little boxes, you'll see it's really a problem of physics. We're talking about moving atoms and electrons around to represent ideas, and that means we have to obey the laws of thermodynamics and mechanics. I want to show you that a computer isn't just a collection of clever tricks, but a fundamental way of looking at how nature processes information, from the smallest flip-flop gate to the grandest motions of the stars. We're going to dive into the nuts and bolts of how we represent numbers with physical states. We'll ask ourselves if we can build a machine that doesn't generate heat—a reversible computer—and what that tells us about the limits of human ingenuity. It’s not about just getting the right answer; it’s about understanding the machinery of the universe and how much energy it costs to forget a single bit of information. It’s a marvelous puzzle that brings together everything from entropy to the logic of George Boole. Finally, we have to face the fact that nature isn't classical, dammit, and if you want to make a simulation of nature, you'd better make it quantum mechanical. 00:00 - Introduction: The Computer as a File Clerk 00:27 - Computers as Physical Systems Obeying Physics 01:09 - Defining Computation: Breaking Down Complex Problems 02:27 - Why Binary?
