“A scientist has now proposed that evidence of this so-called “simulation hypothesis” might be hidden in laws that govern information, such as the genetic information in our DNA or digital information stored in computers, according to a new study. The results of the research suggest that different information systems undergo the same process of minimization over time, almost akin to the way a computer compresses and optimizes its data, a finding that could support the idea that the universe is a simulation.”

Sad that Joy Aloysius Thomas is no more, an information theorist who could have added his insights to this hypothesis. It is a fallacious hypothesis IMO, stemming from a scientific temper where everything that occurs needs a scientific reason/basis/explanation. Science needs to accept that there are things not explainable by the perceivable or intellectual mind.
