I have been wondering whether there is something significant
in the fact that our laws of physics are mostly time symmetric, and we have a
law of conservation of mass/energy.
Does this suggest that our universe is associated with a reversible (and
information preserving) computation?

I think the answer to your question is yes (assuming I understand you
correctly). Information and probability are closely linked (through
algorithmic information theory - AIT for those acronym

I think the answer to your question is yes (assuming I understand you

at different sites
and yet achieve convergence. I guess itÂ’s unlikely that this has
relevance to physics.
