Wolfram says that he thinks the program for the entire Universe will end up being about 5 lines of code.

When he gets it down to one, he can call it God.

And even then, he won't have invented it, just discovered it.

Once again IronJack, you said it so well. All I could add is: Amen.

But, I was thinking,(yea, that may have been what you smelled) should we ask Wolfram if his rule 110 has taken into consideration Catch 22.
