The inevitability and ubiquity of potential information and primordial consciousness
Most theoretical physicists seem to find it difficult to relate notions like information and consciousness to the physical world. I believe that part of the problem is that they are convinced that matter is the fundamental substance in nature. But what if information and consciousness were the very basic constituents of our Universe ? By using simple logic, I will argue that information and consciousness are fundamental, inevitable and ubiquitous in the Universe and that our 3D material reality is only an emergent phenomenon. Let’s assume that at the start of the Universe there is nothing, nothing exists, not even time. The most fundamental notion, a state of existence itself, has to be defined. But as nothing exists, how can a state of existence be defined ? One solution is simply to introduce a state of non-existence. To define and distinguish these two states we can say that one is the opposite of the other one, or if one “is”, the other one “is not”. These two states re...
