e/Fredkin finite nature hypothesis

Information
has gloss	eng: In digital physics, the Fredkin Finite Nature Hypothesis states that ultimately all quantities of physics, including space and time, are discrete and finite. All measurable physical quantities arise from some Planck scale substrate for multiverse information processing. Also, the amount of information in any small volume of spacetime will be finite and equal to a small number of possibilities. Support for the hypothesis of Finite Nature Stephen Wolfram in A New Kind of Science , Chapter 9, considered the possibility that energy and spacetime might be secondary derivations from an informational substrate underlying the Planck scale. Fredkins "Finite Nature" and Wolframs ideas on the foundations of physics might be relevant to unsolved problems in physics. Possible consequences of Finite Nature If the multiverse is a totally finitary informational process, then there is likely to be some violation of the equivalence principle. Objections to the hypothesis of Finite Nature Fredkins Finite Nature hypothesis runs counter to the accepted ideas in physics and the philosophy of physics. The vast majority of physicists reject Fredkins hypothesis.
