Information with mass: New research fuels simulation theory
Research led by Melvin Vopson from the University of Portsmouth suggests the possibility that information may possess mass. This finding supports the simulation hypothesis, which could profoundly alter our understanding of reality.
Melvin Vopson, a scientist at the University of Portsmouth, published a paper that may transform our perception of reality. His research indicates that information has mass and that elementary particles carry information about themselves. This discovery might confirm the hypothesis that we exist in a computer simulation.
New law of infodynamics
Vopson identified a law of physics that makes it possible to predict genetic mutations. His recent research suggests that information is a fundamental building block of the universe. This indicates the possibility that our reality might be a simulation where information plays a crucial role.
The finding is based on the second law of thermodynamics. In information systems, entropy does not increase, which is unexpected. This introduces a new law of infodynamics that affects biology, atomic physics, and cosmology.
Symmetry and data compression
Infodynamics explains the symmetry in the universe, which supports the simulation hypothesis. Symmetry functions by eliminating excess information, akin to data compression in computers. The author of the research believes this could provide evidence that we exist in a simulation.
The simulation hypothesis is gaining increasing recognition among scientists and investors like Elon Musk. It proposes that our reality is a sophisticated computer simulation where the laws of physics are encoded as information.
The researcher suggests that information is the fundamental building block of the universe and has mass. Even dark matter, which makes up a significant portion of the universe, could be information. This discovery could completely transform our perception of reality.
