E.g., you can't backup wikipedia to this hypothetical computer in an alternate universe, and then get the data off of it when your hard drive fails in this universe. > and infinitely better than the evidence non-physical computing exists > because that evidence is zero. > The double-slit experiment is evidence of platonic computation being responsible for our consciousness, along with many other properties seen in physics. The theory has survived numerous tests, without being disproven, which is all we can hope for as evidence for any theory.
