Physicists at the University of Central Lancashire conducted research that used the “second law of infodynamics” to study various information systems, such as genetic information, digital information, atomic physics and cosmology.
Using this law, they showed that information tends to be “compressed” or discarded over time, which helps optimize systems. This study provides scientific evidence for the idea that the universe may be a simulation.
Initially, Wopson discovered that genetic mutations reduce information entropy, which contradicts Darwin’s theory of evolution and leads to the formation of the so-called second law of infodynamics. He also applied this law to other systems, particularly atomic physics, and concluded that they also minimize their information entropy over time.
Wopson also looked at the genetic code of the SARS-Cov-2 virus and showed that its information entropy decreases as a result of genetic mutations. The results of the study indicated that the use of the second law of infodynamics indicates that symmetry in nature contributes to the optimization and minimization of information.
Melvin Wopson saw this study as a test of his law of infodynamics on a larger number of different systems. He conducted experiments with digital information, genetic information, atomic physics, and cosmology to demonstrate that the second law of infodynamics applies to all these systems and explains their optimization and minimization of information over time.
