Physicist Melvin Vopson argues that information is as fundamental as mass and energy and that gravity emerges as a data‑compression, entropy‑minimizing process; the theory, which recovers Newton’s law from information dynamics, challenges the need for dark matter and dark energy and points to a computation-like optimization at the heart of the cosmos.
Physicist Dr Melvin Vopson from the University of Portsmouth has published research in AIP Advances suggesting that the universe behaves like a computer, with information being the fundamental building block. His second law of infodynamics states that information content in the universe is minimized, contradicting the second law of thermodynamics. Dr Vopson believes this supports the idea that the universe is a simulated construct and that information could be the elusive dark matter. He is now crowdfunding further research to detect and measure information in elementary particles to validate his theories.
Physicist Dr. Melvin Vopson from the University of Portsmouth has proposed a new law of physics that supports the theory that our universe is a simulated reality. Based on principles of thermodynamics and information dynamics, this law suggests that physical reality is composed of bits of information. Dr. Vopson's research explores the implications of this law across various scientific disciplines, including biology, atomic physics, and cosmology. His findings challenge conventional understandings of genetic mutations, provide insights into atomic physics, and support the idea that high symmetry corresponds to the lowest information entropy state, potentially explaining nature's inclination towards symmetry. Dr. Vopson's previous research also suggests that information is the fundamental building block of the universe and has physical mass, potentially validating the idea that information is a physical entity equivalent to mass and energy.
A physicist from the University of Portsmouth has proposed a new law of physics, called the second law of infodynamics, which challenges the conventional understanding of genetic mutations and has implications for various scientific disciplines. The law suggests that information entropy remains constant or decreases over time in information systems, contrary to the second law of thermodynamics. The research explores the implications of this law in biological systems, atomic physics, and cosmology, providing insights into genetic research, evolutionary biology, atomic behavior, and the prevalence of symmetry in the universe. The findings also support the idea that we may be living in a computer simulation, as excess information is removed, resembling the process of a computer deleting or compressing waste code. Further empirical testing is needed to validate these theories.
