Lucky 10000: this integration started decades ago. You may have heard of "computational trinitarianism" or read Baez & Stay 2009. The current big listing of correspondences is called the computational trilogy. Don't let the Nobel committee's foolishness blind you to the genuine connections between computer science and physics.
