Why Information Is Fundamental
Simulating the Birth of the Universe
1️⃣ Spacetime as Emergent
-
From Jacobson’s derivation to AdS/CFT, we see that geometry itself is a manifestation of entanglement patterns.
-
The “fabric” of spacetime behaves like a quantum error-correcting code — entanglement glues together the bulk.
2️⃣ Black Holes as Perfect Information Processors
-
Hawking radiation and the Page curve show that information is never lost, it’s scrambled.
-
The holographic principle says all the information inside a volume can be encoded on its boundary — an informational screen.
3️⃣ ER=EPR
-
Einstein-Rosen bridges (wormholes) = EPR pairs (entanglement).
-
A wormhole is a channel for entangled qubits — bridging geometry and quantum info.
4️⃣ Quantum Mechanics at its Core
-
The no-cloning theorem, teleportation, mutual information — all these show how unitary evolution protects information.
-
It’s not the particles or fields that are “most real,” but the relations and correlations.
🔬 What This Means for Us
⚛️ Bits of information — entangled, scrambled, and recombined — are more fundamental than matter or spacetime.
-
Chemistry: even chemical bonds are entanglement structures.
-
Biology: quantum coherence can be harnessed in enzymes or photosynthesis.
-
Cosmology: spacetime emerges from entanglement constraints.
