Both ideas are interesting. The fact that the universe consists of stored information has far reaching implications...that intelligence is behind the whole setup, is but one. Another, since information is conserved (per Hawking losing his bet) is that the universe is indeed (at least) quasi-static. That (quasi-static nature of the universe),in turn implies we need not look for information inside black holes. Since the universe is actually (almost) static, and we only READ and OBSERVE it as existing in time with motion and change, we ARE the information, existing where we are and as we are, with only very gradual change over eternity. I mentioned Arthur C. Clarke down on the thread. In his science fiction book, "Childhoods End", he speculates that the human race, when it graduates to a higher level of cosmic existence, takes the planet Earth with it- just for "old times sake"...out of nostalgia. Personally, I believe the megaverse has parts, of which our (presently being experienced)universe is one, without which the whole would cease to exist. We are here, not because we represent the highest form of life, far from it, but because without our existence, the whole would cease...interdependence...everything depending on everything else... |
