The idea that our universe might be nothing more than a complex simulation has intrigued thinkers for centuries, moving from philosophical musings to scientific discourse.

In recent years, the idea has gained momentum, with researchers exploring different ways to substantiate or disprove the simulation hypothesis.

One such researcher is physicist Melvin Vopson, who introduced the “Second Law of Infodynamics.” This principle suggests that in systems containing information states, information entropy remains constant or decreases over time, in contrast to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, which states that physical entropy increases.

Vopson’s work suggests that the universe’s tendency toward symmetry and order may indicate the presence of an underlying information framework, similar to a computational process.
