When you hear that a physicist has published a paper regarding a study of SARS-CoV-2 (a more virulent form of the virus that caused the COVID pandemic), you might expect to learn something about transmission rates or potential vaccines. But that’s not the case with Dr Melvin Vopson of the University of Portland. He’s been studying the virus from a perspective of “information entropy.” What he claims to have discovered is pretty amazing. For one thing, he feels that the way the virus mutates and evolves could suggest that we’re all living in a simulated universe. And even if we’re not, his work suggests that our current understanding of the theory of evolution may be wrong because not all genetic mutations that occur naturally are entirely random. You might want to break out some recreational psychedelics to read through his work. (IFL Science)
