The Connection Between Simulation Theory and Digital Physics in the Universe

Exponential growth in the creation of physical universes supports the simulation hypothesis, providing a framework for understanding the complexities of quantum mechanics. The physical world, represented by tangible objects, is largely composed of empty space, leading to the realization that what we perceive as matter may essentially be information. This concept is illustrated by John Wheeler's phrase 'it from bit', suggesting that all physical entities arise from binary information — a series of yes/no binary decisions. In this context, particles are seen as answers to binary questions, framing them as bits of information rather than traditional physical objects. This shift in perspective gives rise to 'digital physics', which prioritizes the study of information over physical entities. Instead of examining the movement of physical objects, digital physics explores how information is conserved, created, or destroyed in the universe, fundamentally altering the understanding of physical laws from classical mechanics to a computation-centric view.
