Entropy always reminds me of the No Hiding theorem, that states information cannot be lost to the universe. If information is matter, then matter can't be lost either. However, E=MC^2, so matter is energy, which is what is lost to entropy. This brings me back to my original resolution, the fundamental paradox of everything. Certainty is the enemy of knowledge.
Thanks!
I wouldn't say information is matter. Information is the asking of a yes/no question and registering an answer. When we ask these questions about the world we observe with our senses, matter emerges. In Swarm Theoretical terms, matter emerges from the fundamental, nested, and hierarchical information processing dynamic. When we ask whether a table is there, we touch it and our answer is "yes." But then when we look with more precise instrumentation, we see that the table is mostly empty space and our hand never touches anything. The feeling of touch is the result of electron repulsion. The table becomes a swarm of atoms all interacting with one another, sharing electrons, asking each other questions and propagating the results. Look into the particles that make the atoms and those particles disappear leaving only "wave functions" which seem to be a swarm of their own. The multiple worlds theory contends that they are a cross-dimensional swarm of that particle.
I do agree, but note that matter, the swirling particles thereof, are merely energy in such highly ordered relationships, as E=MC^2 reveals. As I understand it then, the only reason information isn't matter in the Swarm theory you are explaining is that matter is actually energy.
As to the multiple worlds theory(s), I have attempted to put forth arguments that dark matter results from matter causing gravitational effects at other times, but fortunately a competent physicist proved it could not be so. I have yet to espouse such hypotheses of such theory successfully in discussion with competent physicists. It seems to make sense to me, so I doggedly keep trying LOL
