    I don’t think that that’s possible, purely from an information-theoretic standpoint. Like, you can’t store a copy of all the information in the universe inside the universe. You’d need to put it outside the universe.

      If we can compress a folder, why not the universe? Isn’t that how it all started anyway?

      Theoretically you may be able to store the core seed information that encodes the starting constants that lead to the beginning of the universe. Its not really the same thing like the difference between a cake and the recipe used to make it. Information systems can be distilled to core seed equations and regenerated by iterating that equation many times. This is Barnsley’s collage theorem.

        Fool! You activated my trap card. 😏 🃏 ✌️

        Paradox: Could God create a stone so heavy that even he could not lift it?

        Effect: Cancel God trap card.

      I think the comic is incorrect. I think the fruit (not specifically an apple) had the knowledge of good and evil. That’s a lot less.

      It doesn’t fit in an apple, because of the Bekenstain bound, but it could fit in a subregion of the universe (probably).
