Title Physicists quantify the amount of information in the entire visible universe Degree of recognition International Media name/outlet Informe Affaires En ligne Media type Web Country/Territory Canada Date 24/10/21 Description Researchers have long questioned the relationship between information and the physical universe. We used various paradoxes and thought experiments to investigate how and why information is encoded into physical matter. The digital age is driving this area of research, and solving these research questions suggests that it may have concrete applications across multiple areas of physics and computing.

The question is, of course, a bit complicated or even philosophical, but let's stay within a narrower framework. It is not a question of us now whether we can draw information, use it, whether it is somehow unique and not redundant, but let us simply imagine the "maximum possible amount". Melvin M. Vopson of the University of Portsmouth attempted just such an estimate.

All this information would be the fifth state of matter.

Degree of recognition International Media name/outlet News2read Media type Web Country/Territory United States Date 22/10/21 Description “Information,” wrote Arizona State University astrophysicist Paul Davies in an email to The Daily Galaxy, “is a concept that is both abstract and mathematical. It lies at the foundation of both biology and physics.” URL https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2411049658089/is-information-the-fifth-state-of-matter-in-the-universe Persons Melvin Vopson Title Amount Of Information In Visible Universe Quantified Degree of recognition International Media name/outlet The Archaeology News Network Media type Web Country/Territory Greece Date 19/10/21 Description Researchers have long suspected a connection between information and the physical universe, with various paradoxes and thought experiments used to explore how or why information could be encoded in physical matter.
