The underlying data structure of the universe
43:39 - 53:10 (09:31)
The universe and everything in it could be just eddies, or ripples, in a network. General relativity, quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics are the three big theories of 20th century physics which help explain the limitations of the human mind and how we understand the universe.

The universe is believed to be composed of eddies forming a network organization, while zero point fluctuations in quantum field theory produce gravitational energy that can roll up the universe into a smaller size.

The understanding of physics has led to a paradigm shift in the way we think about space, and the very processes leading to vacuum fluctuations knit together the structure of space through general relativity, quantum mechanics, and statistical mechanics.

The Roulead, the limit of all possible computations, determines how we sample information based on our computational limitations and belief in persistence in time.

Summary
The Roulead, the limit of all possible computations, determines how we sample information based on our computational limitations and belief in persistence in time. The second law of thermodynamics is derived from the Roulead, which explains why things tend to get more random over time.
