Are we living in a computer simulation? This physicist says his study supports the theory

euronews (in English)

Dr Melvin Vopson published the research in AIP Advances which suggests that the universe behaves just like a computer, ordering and deleting unnecessary information.

00:12 I don't want to paraphrase Morpheus from Matrix,

00:16 but he said, what is real in the movie at the very beginning,

00:20 you know, before taking the red pill?

00:22 What is real, you know, is just electrical signals

00:26 that are being fed to our brain through our perception.

00:30 And we decode them, and we construct the reality

00:33 around us, images, sound, perception of touching things,

00:38 and the smell.

00:39 All the senses that we have, they

00:41 are just electrical signals that are being decoded

00:45 by our brains, which are--

00:47 what is this is a biological computer.

00:49 That's nothing more.

01:00 So I found the second law of information dynamics

01:04 is not only that it seems to permeate everything

01:08 in the universe, including mathematical entities,

01:10 but the universe appears to minimize--

01:14 to optimize the optimal.

01:16 It requires the most optimal compression of information

01:19 to be minimal.

01:20 So this is absolutely remarkable.

01:22 So if this is a law that refers to computational processes

01:28 and information itself, and the universe does this

01:31 in everything, it seems to be even biological life,

01:35 perhaps the universe really works as a giant computer.
