Bit-string physics is an emerging body of theory which considers the universe to be a process of operations on strings of bits. Bit-string physics is often associated with A.F. Parker-Rhodes' combinatorial hierarchy, which is notable for its relationship with the electromagnetic and gravitational coupling constants of quantum theory. Other leading contributors in the field include H. Pierre Noyes, Ted Bastin, C.W. Kilmister, and David McGoveran.
Critics of bit-string physics challenge that the theory has yet to present experimentally testable predictions. In a 2001 paper by Noyes, evidence was presented for predictions made by the theory that were later confirmed.
Famous quotes containing the word physics:
“The pace of science forces the pace of technique. Theoretical physics forces atomic energy on us; the successful production of the fission bomb forces upon us the manufacture of the hydrogen bomb. We do not choose our problems, we do not choose our products; we are pushed, we are forced—by what? By a system which has no purpose and goal transcending it, and which makes man its appendix.”
—Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
