A new physics paper suggests that we may all be living in the ultimate 4X strategy game after all

Have you heard of the simulation hypothesis? It’s the idea that the universe, as we perceive it, is essentially a form of simulated reality and it’s been explored in genuine scientific research, philosophical texts, and major plot devices in numerous films. Well, a new physics research paper on the nature of information claims that if its findings were to be empirically validated, it would be a major piece of evidence for the notion that we’re all living in the grandest giant 4X strategy game of all time.

News of the paper’s release (via MSN) has been understandably popular in general science reporting. The researcher in question, Dr Melvin Vorpon, has spent a good portion of his career in physics investigating information theory, going as far as to propose a universal law called the second law of information dynamics, based on an earlier theory of his called the mass-energy-information equivalence principle
