May 24, 2017 · Therein Tong explores the boundaries of the Analogue and Digital universe in response to The Foundational Questions Institute’s open question competition to physicists and philosophers: ”Is Reality Digital or Analog?” Essentially Tong is arguing that (Platonists can leave now) that Atoms and Molecules don’t really exist.

In my 2023 paper, 'The Universe - Analog or Digital?', a case was made for redefining the scope of physics as describing the behavior of the universe using mathematical models applied to matter, energy, and information - rather than just matter and energy - within the framework of …

Jan 7, 2004 · So I guess the answer to your question is, on the most fundamental level the universe is quantized (so sort of digital) and on the macroscopic level matter appears analog. Spheres are the three-dimensional equivalent in this model, so virtually any hyperdimensional artifact would appear to us in exactly this fashion.

Dec 1, 2012 · Quantum mechanics ultimately transformed the digital-analog debate. Whereas the definition of a planet may be arbitrary, the definition of an atom or an elementary particle is not.

In Section 2 Key aspects of physics are probed using <D/A?> and contradictions pointed out. The incompatibility of an analog Gravity and an analog-digital Quantum Mechanics are traced back to...

Do the digital or discrete units of the universe merely exist as pure concepts? Or, much like the old idea about electromagnetic waves needing an ether to propagate through, are the universe’s

Jan 1, 2014 · Analog and digital mathematical treatments can be shown to be equivalent, so the answer does not lie in math but in physics. At root is the nature of particles and fields. The simplest...

Dec 2, 2012 · In summary, the conversation discusses the concept of a digital or analog universe and whether it can be described within a digital model or an analog model. The participants have different opinions on the usefulness of these concepts in understanding the laws of physics and whether it is a limitation of human perception.

Digital physics (DP) is an all-encompassing theory of the universe which attempts to unify the forces of the universe, including gravity, in a single framework. The premise of DP is that at the fundamental level, matter is made up of information.

Is Reality Analog or Digital? Analog and digital mathematical treatments can be shown to be equivalent, so the answer does not lie in math but in physics. At root is the nature of particles and fields. The simplest possible physical model, one field, will be analyzed and physical experiments proposed to show an analog reality with digital ...
