About this listen

 We check the 7-day weather forecast without a second thought, trusting it to tell us whether to pack an umbrella. But how does a computer "know" what the sky will do next week?

This episode opens the black box of digital simulation to find the simple, brilliant rules computers use to build a copy of our world... and predict its future.
