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:
“He who is conversant with the supernal powers will not worship these inferior deities of the wind, waves, tide, and sunshine. But we would not disparage the importance of such calculations as we have described. They are truths in physics because they are true in ethics.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
