SUMMARY:Simulating the Universe (an alternative approach)
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Jozsef Konczer\nHosted by: Szabolcs Vajna\n\nPart of 
	the Condensed Matter Theory Seminar Series.\n\nWhat if the message of quant
	um mechanics is not abandoning determinism\, but only discreetness\, and wh
	at if space and time are truly granular on some tiny scale? What data struc
	tures and dynamics could possibly reflect a (or possibly the) Universe\, if
	 we know some large scale behviour\, and we boldly assume that in principle
	 it could run on a computer? In a highly bottom up approach I will tell wha
	t can one do in 3 weeks with these ideas\, and how sparse undirected graphs
	 and local replacement rules can give a framework for large scale physics. 
	And of course I'll tell many-many open problems in the end.
