Explore the cutting-edge realms of information physics with Melvin Vopson, a physicist from the University of Portsmouth. Melvin introduces us to his groundbreaking discovery, The Second Law of Infodynamics, a parallel to the second law of thermodynamics but applied to information. Contrary to thermodynamics, this law asserts that information entropy always decreases or stays the same over time in informational systems across all levels of emergence.

In this conversation, we explore the implications of Melvin's theory. It's suggesting that evolution is not random but follows the order dictated by the Second Law of Infodynamics. Could this point to our existence as part of a programmed, computational system?

Dan Go Thoughts

In this show, I explore the minds of individuals who have devoted their lives to their craft. I want to find out how individuals excel at what they do, think, and what drives their day to day. We explore a wide variety of subjects from the newest trends, to black holes, to God. No limits, just deep dives into the known and the unknown.
