Is it possible to describe the whole Universe as a computer program? What is the algorithm that runs our Universe?

According to the theory of Digital Physics, information is more fundamental than matter and energy; time and space are discrete, and laws of physics are deterministic. The solution of the problem itself lies somewhere within a class of abstract mathematical models for computation known as "cellular automata"...
