A new proposal suggests that complexity increases over time, not just in living organisms but in the nonliving world, potentially rewriting notions of time and evolution. Researchers propose a law where entities are selected for richness in information enabling function, challenging traditional views and sparking debate about its testability and implications for understanding the universe.
A new paper by SFI Professor David Wolpert introduces a mathematically precise framework for the simulation hypothesis, challenging several long-standing claims and opening up new questions about simulated universes.
