This is a nice lay-person explanation of hamming codes and how they're useful.

Interesting tidbit - it appears the universe uses them to preserve quantum state information. Make of that what you will.

Huhwhat? I don't think that's true at all. Quantum states are continuous while Hamming codes are inherently discrete.

Have a read - it's interesting stuff - this is from Physics World - http://www.onbeing.org/program/uncovering-codes-reality/feat...

Ah, SUSY rather than QM. I think it's a bit much to say the universe appears to follow SUSY; it's been... not great at generating experimental predictions, and to the extent that there are results they are negative.
