That's certainly what it sounds like.
How did the error correction get there?
You're saying that the fundamental laws of physics likely underwent some sort of evolution process.
and they're probably currently still evolving.
Because we are still evolving.
Okay.
So there was a scientist in the 40s who came up with the idea of transmitting data, right?
Bits?
Yes.
Claude Shannon, I believe.
Yes.
Because when you transmit a data packet from one computer here to another computer in Beijing...
Right.
Well, a computer that transmits data and bits is bound by the laws of entropy, right?
So if you have a blank hard drive with no data on it at all,
that hard drive would be very low entropy, right?
From a purely physical standpoint, it would be either all ones or all zeros.
That's correct.
When you encode data on it, say we store this podcast on that hard drive, it becomes a chaotic mess of ones and zeros.
It could.
