Is our universe a simulation? New research fuels debate
Research conducted by Melvin Vopson from the University of Portsmouth suggests the possibility that information may have mass. This discovery supports the simulation hypothesis, which could completely change our understanding of reality.
Melvin Vopson, a scientist at the University of Portsmouth, has published a paper that might change our perception of reality. His research indicates that information has mass and that elementary particles contain information about themselves. This finding might confirm the hypothesis that we live in a computer simulation.
New law of infodynamics
Vopson discovered a law of physics that allows for the prediction of genetic mutations. His latest research suggests that information is a key building block of the universe. This discovery presents the possibility that our reality might be a simulation where information plays a fundamental role.
The discovery is based on the second law of thermodynamics. In information systems, entropy does not increase, which is surprising. This introduces a new law of infodynamics that impacts biology, atomic physics, and cosmology.
Symmetry and data compression
Infodynamics explains symmetry in the universe, which supports the simulation hypothesis. Symmetry operates by removing excess information, similar to data compression in computers. The author of the research believes this could be evidence that we live in a simulation.
The simulation hypothesis is gaining increasing recognition among scientists and investors such as Elon Musk. It posits that our reality is an advanced computer simulation where the laws of physics are encoded as information.
The scientist suggests that information is the fundamental building block of the universe and has mass. Even dark matter, which constitutes a large part of the universe, could be information. This discovery could completely change our perception of reality.
