Scientist claims information has mass, fuels simulation theory
Research by Melvin Vopson from the University of Portsmouth suggests that information might have mass, supporting the simulation hypothesis. This finding could revolutionize our perception of reality.
Melvin Vopson, a scientist from the University of Portsmouth, has published a paper that could change our understanding of reality. His research indicates that information has mass and that elementary particles contain intrinsic information. This discovery might support the hypothesis that we are living in a computer simulation.
A new law of physics
Vopson has discovered a law of physics that allows for the prediction of genetic mutations. His research suggests that information is a key building block of the universe, pointing to the possibility that our reality is indeed a simulation in which information plays a fundamental role.
Vopson's discovery builds on the second law of thermodynamics, where, surprisingly, entropy in information systems does not increase. This introduces a new law of infodynamics, which impacts biology, atomic physics, and cosmology.
The law of infodynamics
Infodynamics explains symmetry in the universe, lending support to the simulation hypothesis. Symmetry removes excess information, similar to data compression in computers. According to Vopson, this could be evidence that we are living in a simulation.
The simulation hypothesis is gaining popularity among scientists and technologists, including figures like Elon Musk. It suggests that our reality is an advanced computer simulation, with the laws of physics encoded as information.
Vopson proposes that information is a fundamental building block of the universe and possesses mass. Even dark matter, which constitutes a significant portion of the universe, could be information. This discovery could dramatically alter our perception of reality.
