The Informational Conception and Basic Physics

TL;DR

This paper proposes an informational model of the universe where matter is viewed as an interconnected informational system, offering new insights into fundamental physics and addressing longstanding metaphysical and epistemological issues.

Contribution

It introduces a novel informational conception of matter and the universe, providing a physical model based on information exchange and logical elements, which is experimentally testable.

Findings

Clarifies problems in special relativity and quantum mechanics

Suggests matter as an informational system analogous to a computer

Provides a testable physical model based on informational exchange

Abstract

In our previous arXiv papers ("The Information and the Matter", v1, v5; more systematically the informational conception is presented in the paper "The Information as Absolute", 2010) it was rigorously shown that Matter in our Universe - and Universe as a whole - are some informational systems (structures), which exist as uninterruptedly transforming [practically] infinitesimal sub-sets of the absolutely infinite and fundamental set "Information". Such a conception allows not only to clear essentially a number of metaphysical and epistemological problems in philosophy but, besides, allows to suggest a reasonable physical model. Since Matter in Universe is an informational system where any interaction between Matter's sub-structures, i.e. - particles and systems of the particles - happens always as an exchange by exclusively true information between these structures, the model is based on the conjecture that Matter is some analogue of computer. The conjecture, in turn, allows to introduce in the model the basic logical elements that constitute the material structures and support the informational exchange - i.e. the forces - between the structures. The model is experimentally testable and yet now makes be more clear a number of basic problems in special relativity, quantum mechanics, and, rather probably, in [now - in Newtonian] gravity.
