Is the Universe Based on a Simple Binary Code?

    Binary Universe
Click For Summary
The discussion explores the idea that the universe operates on a fundamental binary code, akin to an on/off switch, suggesting that this binary nature manifests across various scales, from quantum to cosmic. The notion posits that if nature's designs can be broken down into binary components, similar patterns should emerge at all levels of measurement. One participant raises the concept of discrete space, linking it to Zeno's paradox and proposing that acknowledging space's discreteness could resolve issues related to motion. The conversation hints at the implications of quantum mechanics, particularly quantum tunneling, in understanding motion. Overall, the thread invites further exploration of these interconnected ideas.

Hi Folks

Off my usual forum for a wee change, thought I'd post some thought's for discussion on a long held view of mine.

That the universe is based at it's smallest scale on a simple binary on / off switch and that as a fractal, the universe is throwing up the same designs on each scale of measurement. Logically, this if true, would suggest that if we examine the designs that nature creates on our scale, we should also find the same designs at a quantum scale and also at scales larger than the universe.

In my everyday life I am constantly examining things and trying to break them into 1/0 flow chart of activity, so far I have found nothing that can't be broken down to a simple 1/0. This is probably proven somewhere I think. Am I right in this assertion?

I don't want to go on and on, so if you fancy a chat i have more details and thoughts to support this, cheers

Best

Are you saying that space is discrete? I've thought for a while that the discreteness of space would finally put poor Zeno to rest; the paradox concerning the impossibility of starting motion you could resolve by simply denying that it's possible to continue dividing space into smaller and smaller pieces indefinitely. Motion is possible because of quantum mechanical tunneling. The old calculus solution that a sum of infinitely many terms can be finite avoids addressing the issue; the whole point of the paradox, to me, is that there is no smallest first term in the series. The question is not, "Can you finish motion once started?" but "How can you start motion?"

But my little thought here might be completely unrelated to what you wrote.
 
Sorry, this doesn't meet the minimum posting requirements for this forum.
