Rethinking Relativity: A Surge of Cosmological Inconsistencies Prompts a Reevaluation of Einstein’s Theories

“Observations not only disturb what is to be measured, they produce it.” ―Pascual Jordan
Scientists are searching for a theory that would unite quantum mechanics and general relativity. It turns out that quantum mechanics may be more fundamental than previously thought. Some physicists believe that the principles of quantum mechanics apply to all aspects of reality, not just the ultra-tiny, and there is evidence to support this idea. A new field called Computational Physics (also known as Digital Physics) suggests that spacetime is an illusion and that physical reality is actually a construct of information within quantum neural networks. This new theoretical model that can be dubbed “It from Qubit” incorporates consciousness and implies that spacetime, mass-energy, and gravity emerge from information processing.
Recent discoveries in cosmology have led to discrepancies in the traditional interpretation of relativity. The Hubble constant, which measures the expansion of the universe, has been found to have different values depending on how it is measured. Other measurements, such as the speed of light, have also shown discrepancies.
Computational physics proposes that in an observer-centric reality, spacetime is computed like a computer program, and that the faster one moves towards the speed of light, the more they are “stretching” themselves in space, and the slower time becomes. The Casimir effect, which is the pressure exerted on two flat plates in close proximity, can be explained by the presence of virtual particles in empty space, which suggests that empty space is full of processing.
Overall, computational physics suggests that spacetime, mass-energy, and gravity are emergent properties that arise from information processing within a holographic, multidimensional matrix. This theory, along with others such as M-Theory and Emergence Theory, may help to reconcile the discrepancies in relativistic physics and the standard cosmological model.
According to Digital Physics, everything that we consider to be fundamental can be converted into everything else. This means that energy…
