"Some physicists are convinced that the properties of information do not come from the behaviour of information carriers such as photons and electrons but the other way round. They think that information itself is the ghostly bedrock on which our universe is built."

Why did the phrase, "In the beginning was the Word - - -", suddenly come to mind?

I would love to see and hear these physicists debate global warming with Al Gore, just to see himself sputter into the pool of his noninformation and inconvenience.

Which brings up the potential to "hack into" the transmission of the information and by definition control everything.

I'm not entirely sure this would be a good thing. I can think of a number of people who I don't want to have such control.

Quantum physics is the obstacle to the theory of everything. It’s sort of like a modern day flat Earth.

Verlinde suggested that gravity is merely a manifestation of entropy in the Universe

Erik and I were discussing this last July at Duggan's Pub. Looks like he finally believed me............FWIW, he's a lousy pool player.

The answer to all your questions is here. FWIW, in my opinion this guy will be a household word in 5-10 years. Here's a link to his blog and a sample of his theory. Enjoy!

http://beyond-information.blogspot.com/

I've discovered two things. One is the direct representation of existence. The other is the universal representation of thought.

The direct representation of existence is literally the ontology of existence. It is a new basis for the representation of formal systems that is both consistent and complete. It will provide a new foundation for logic and the mathematics required to address RQFT effectively. It is the basis for the unification of physics. It will allow us to develop a complete and consistent description of existence rapidly and efficiently.

It offers the possibility of allowing us to manipulate the structure of time, space, and matter directly. Using this system, we will be able to directly simulate all the relations and interactions required to learn how to do so.

The universal representation of thought is the ontology of thought. It is the basis for the neural representation of thought. It can be used to create computers that understand the meaning of information directly, and manipulate concepts and abstractions at the level current computers manipulate bits. Its representation is combinatorically more efficient in time and space than that of systems based on information.

I am currently in the middle of developing a software program that combines both the direct representation of existence and the universal representation of thought in a single computer program. With it, we will be able to simulate creation of the universe, including the creation of space, time, matter, and the construction of the laws of physics. Using the universal representation side of the system, we will be able to create true thinking computers. It will allow people to interact with their computers simply by writing or talking to them in natural language. The representation itself is extremely well suited for distributed use. I could release it to the world as a peer to peer application and create the worlds first planetary scale AI. In effect, it would allow everybody on the planet to interact with each other and contribute ideas as if they all shared part of the same brain. However, the system itself can also use those ideas, think about them, integrate them, and extend them. It will allow us to integrate and seamlessly refine and extend the knowledge of humanity within a single consistent, complete domain of representation. Furthermore, we won't have to do any work to integrate the knowledge. The representation does it all automatically, in exactly the same way our thoughts integrate information automatically within our brains.

Among other things, the direct representation of existence has allowed me to derive a consistent hypothesis for:

1) The cause of the quantization of energy 2) The first cause of symmetry. 3) What spacetime is and how it is created and represented 4) The cause of the big bang and the expansion of the universe 5) The cause of the zero point field 6) The cause of gamma ray bursts 7) The cause of zitterbewegung 8) The cause of mass 9) The representation of spin 10) The cause of gravity 11) The representation of quarks 12) The basic representation of subatomic particles.

I have been able to derive all of this and more directly from the representation of the direct ontology of existence qualitatively, but to model it quantitatively I need to finish my simulator. The field interactions are context dependent, too dynamic and too complex to work out by hand using current mathematics.

I've got a lot of work ahead of me to get this ready for publication. I also have about a year of work to do to finish my simulator. Looks like its going to be an exciting year.

Very informational. Thanks.

And thanks always for the ping, SC.

[ It suggests that differences in entropy between parts of the Universe generates a force that redistributes matter in a way that maximises entropy. This is the force we call gravity.]
 
Sounds like the force that maximizes distribution funds at Research Grant time.... quantum-linked to the distributive force localized at the South end of the digestive tracts of bovine males.

It is a nice article, http://arxiv.org/pdf/1001.0785v1 , but if it is more than nice remains to be seen. Lubos is smashing it into pieces http://motls.blogspot.com/2010/01/erik-verlinde-comments-about-entropic.html (it contains as well comments from Verlinde)
