Computation is Existence — A Brief Overview of the Multi-faceted Implications of Quantum Mechanical Description of Black holes as hyper computational Entities

Abstract

The article attempts to deal with the newly emerging paradigm of black hole computers in which adopting a quantum-mechanical perspective of information enables us to assess the computational power of black holes. Viewing space-time itself as a computational entity and black holes as the supreme forms of serial computers can help us to gain insight into the ideas from gravitational thermodynamics and the emergent nature of space-time and gravity. The idea of black holes as computational entities also relates to quantum gravity which views space-time and foamy and fuzzy due to quantum fluctuations and divided into discrete, Planck-scale blocks.
