Scientists have long tried to answer the metaphysical question: Why was the universe born with certain conditions suitable for the birth of life? And why do we need physical laws and specific constants? which directs the stars into orbit in an orderly manner Until various phenomena occur while we see each other.
The most commonly heard answer in theoretical physics is Our Universe is one of countless multiverses created by different laws of physics. The most popular response in the fantasy novel genre is to say The universe or everything, including us, is not a real object, but a “virtual reality” simulated by a quantum computer program of extraterrestrial intelligent beings.
However, it is difficult for humans to know that Our self and the things around us are matter-energy that actually exists. Or is it just digital data controlled and simulated by aliens? Most recently, Professor Melvin M. Watson, a physicist at the University of Portsmouth in the UK. offered a proven way to answer those questions. He said in a research paper published in the March 2022 issue of AIP Advances and in his most recent article in The Conversation:
Proof that all things are simply “information information”
said the prof. Wopson The idea that the world and the universe are just a computer model. Even if it looks like a sci-fi fantasy. But there’s actually quite a bit of empirical evidence to support this idea. especially from knowledge in the field of science “Information Physics” (Information Physics)
Such branches of science see that All physical realities, be they matter, energy or space-time, Are essentially phenomena made up of bits, or units of information, in the smallest hierarchy. as it exists in the memory and processing unit of a computer
for example the temperature (The temperature) is not something that actually exists in matter or in the atoms themselves. Rather, it is a phenomenon that occurs when many atoms are in motion.

In 1989, the late American physicist John Archibald Wheeler proposed a new idea that The foundation of all things in the universe is information. (information) that can be explained by all of mathematics
Subsequently, in 2003, Nick Bostrom, a philosopher at the University of Oxford, proposed the hypothesis that We humans can live in computer simulations. This hypothesis led MIT physicist Set Lloyd to suggest that the universe, or the entire universe, could be one giant quantum computer.
The virtual world created by computer program simulation. There is a working mechanism consistent with quantum mechanics. In this case, the “bits” or smallest units of information act like particles, so the image of what we see is simply a composite of dots or pixels, which are “dot-to-dot” information.
The laws of physics which are the laws of nature that exist everywhere. It is also similar to code or code (code) that a computer model will execute or process as directed by the author. For example, the speed of light, which is the fastest speed in that universe. Such as the maximum speed of a computer, which is limited by the speed of the processor (processor).
A condition in which the amount of information is too overwhelming and overwhelming for the system to accept. inevitably causes computer processing to lag or freeze Just as Einstein’s general theory of relativity states Time slows down as it approaches a black hole, a supermassive object.
Quantum entanglement is another proof that the universe can be a virtual reality. due to the separation of particle pairs Incredibly instantaneous changes can occur. even if they are millions of light years away
In this case, the virtual reality hypothesis is described as The ability of pairs of particles to connect and interact with each other faster than the speed of light. may be possible in a computer program The code is written so that each data location is the same distance from the central processing unit.

The mass-energy-information equivalence principle
The professor. Wopson proposed a way to prove whether everything is really a computer program or not. Using mass-energy-information equivalence principle which he invented and first published in AIP Advances journal since 2019.
The above principle assumes that the simulated universe is filled with bits of information, which are equal to the mass and energy that are fundamental to the reality of the universe that we know. Therefore, if it can detect common information or codes around us in mass or energy. He will also be able to confirm the validity of the virtual reality hypothesis.
The professor. Wopson saw Information is actually the fifth state of matter in the universe, in addition to solids, liquids, gases and plasmas. There should be an average of 1,509 bits of information.
We can experience traces of this information by colliding particles. Here’s how today’s technology can do it. Prof. Wopson has proposed using high energy to accelerate and collide elementary particles with their counterparts, or antiparticles. (antiparticle) in order to neutralize and release the information inside with photons or particles of light that will follow in the frequency range predicted by Prof. Wopson.
As well as Prof. Wopson’s test method where he announced a public fundraiser of 8 million baht on his website. indiegogo.com to bring in the money to experiment with such particle collisions There is another test method of the late English physicist John Barrow. which looks for minor errors that normal computers would have and even programmers should fix right away
If you find a phenomenon, it’s like fixing the system. For example, the results of the first experiment immediately contradict the results of subsequent iterations. or some constant in nature suddenly changes Show that the author and control of the reality simulation program of the universe. He has created a new set of direct information information. “Virtual reality” has arrived.
