Dr Melvin Vopson published the research in AIP Advances which suggests that the universe behaves just like a computer, ordering and deleting unnecessary information.

00:12 I don't want to paraphrase Morpheus from Matrix,
00:16 but he said, what is real in the movie at the very beginning,
00:20 you know, before taking the red pill?
00:22 What is real, you know, is just electrical signals
00:26 that are being fed to our brain through our perception.
00:30 And we decode them, and we construct the reality
00:33 around us, images, sound, perception of touching things,
00:38 and the smell.
00:39 All the senses that we have, they
00:41 are just electrical signals that are being decoded
00:45 by our brains, which are--
00:47 what is this is a biological computer.
00:49 That's nothing more.

01:00 So I found the second law of information dynamics
01:04 is not only that it seems to permeate everything
01:08 in the universe, including mathematical entities,
01:10 but the universe appears to minimize--
01:14 to optimize the optimal.
01:16 It requires the most optimal compression of information
01:19 to be minimal.
01:20 So this is absolutely remarkable.
01:22 So if this is a law that refers to computational processes
01:28 and information itself, and the universe does this
01:31 in everything, it seems to be even biological life,
01:35 perhaps the universe really works as a giant computer.
