Melvin Vopson: The Physics of a Simulation | Dan Go Thoughts Podcast Ep #42
13 Jan 2024
Explore the cutting-edge realms of information physics with Melvin Vopson, a physicist from the University of Portsmouth. Melvin introduces us to his groundbreaking discovery, The Second Law of Infodynamics, a parallel to the second law of thermodynamics but applied to information. Contrary to thermodynamics, this law asserts that information entropy always decreases or stays the same over time in informational systems across all levels of emergence. In this conversation, we explore the implications of Melvin's theory. It's suggesting that evolution is not random but follows the order dictated by the Second Law of Infodynamics. Could this point to our existence as part of a programmed, computational system? β’ If these topics pique your curiosity, consider supporting the channel on Patreon or contribute to the Code of Reality project (COR) through the website.
