Computer chips are so small and complex that it can be difficult to remember the physical principles that make them. They're not just a bunch of ever-growing numbers. For a concrete (well virtual) example, take a look at the latest version of a computer processor that is built exclusively inside the Minecraft game engine.
Minecraft builder "Sammyuri" spent seven months building what they call the Chungus 2, an enormously complex computer processor that is in the Minecraft game engine. This isn't even the first time that a computer processor has been virtually rebuilt inside Minecraft, but the Chungus 2 (Computation Humongous Unconventional Number and Graphics Unit) could very well be the biggest and most complex, based on an 8-bit processor, with a one hertz clock speed and the capacity of 256 bytes of RAM.
Minecraft processors make use of the physics engine in the game to recreate the architecture of real processors on a macro scale, with materials including redstone dust, torches, pistons, repeaters, levers and other basic machines. To give you a sense scale, each block in Minecraft is one virtual millimeter in size. This means that it's about the same size as the size of a cruise ship or a skyscraper, if this model was to be replicated in the real world.

When connected to an in-game 32x32 "screen" and "controller" (manipulated by the Minecraft avatar that jumps on buttons that are block-sized), the Chungus 2 can play interchangeable 2D games such as Tetris, Snake, or even a graphing calculator. Some programs need the Minecraft server to be artificially sped up to make the processor fast enough to use. Each program is also built virtually in Minecraft and connects to the computer as a game cartridge of the size of an entire freight train.
This project is a stunning example of computer science in action. It's done in a way that demonstrates its principles quickly and visually. The video showcasing the Chungus 2 is impressive enough. However, if you'd like to see it in action, you can download it and run it on your server at mc.openredstone.org. If we put off a few years, we could obtain a Minecraft CPU that's powerful enough to run Minecraft, at which the universe could explode.
