The digital physics of virtual reality

Theories in physics change: there are many models of reality that came before the current one and there will be many more. The next big shift in how we see the world may well come from digital physics, but we have yet to come to terms with the implications of the previous one, quantum mechanics.

Many, in fact most probably all, of the topics in this blog can be explained and clarified within the context of reality being digital and virtual in nature. This has always been the case, but only now with our familiarity with computer games, digital computers and virtual realities, does this analogy become a meaningful and useful one to increase our understanding of the possibilities that life holds.

But the main reason that the digital physics of virtual reality may well become the new paradigm is that it explains the physicists experimental data better than any other current theory.
