Quantum information theory and traditional physics vs Aut part 1

       In an earlier post, I opined that most of physics is 10 years behind me, but there is a reason to say that 3-5 is the proper balance.  Such is the next article I'm going to deal with.

     Again, the primary problem here is not that they physicists are not on the right track.  Other than not have the specific model incorporated into AuT what they discuss is information as a part of the universe.
    The problem is that they are stuck on space time as an aspect of it.  Peter Hanggi has part of the answer when he says that the universe isn't "a giant quantum information processor instead of a physical thing." but he says it against information theory instead of realizing that he is merely looking at the result.
    Of course the Universe isn't a processor, the universe is nothing more than the output form the processor.  And perhaps those two things are not so different.  
Now Hanggi would probably not like this use of his position,  but that's where he's right.  He is not otherwise wrong, because the unvierse does exist; but he doesn't get how you can have it both ways.  The universe is the result of a single variable algorithm, but the texture of it is so thick from the overlapping solution that it appears durable to those of us in it.
    Now I'm not a member of the European research network dedicated to this issue, but when I finish with the rewrite of book 1, I'll send it to them, perhaps.
If they read it they will say, oh we sort of knew that all along, but of course the do and they don't.  They are trying to make information a part of everything else, they are still working with forces that do things and Aut knows that forces only reflect things that are aleady done.

Oh here is the article: https://www.wired.com/2017/05/happens-mix-thermodynamics-quantum-world-revolution/ which was republished from Quanta Magazine, which is somehow related (paid for ?) to the Simons Foundation.

These people are my people, perhaps.


This article shows how close physics is coming to AuT.  They started from the same direction I did, but they haven't figured out it is the wrong way, yet.
The only break between quantum information theory of thermodynamics and AuT is one of perspective.  AuT started by recognizing there was a serious problem with spacetime, a recognition that dated back 2500 years, but still a serious problem.

In Part 2 we'll discuss the article in more detail.
