I dunno. That Professor Stephen Hawkin, eh? He’s a one. I mean, right, the information paradox that has blighted debates for over 30 years, yeah? You know, the idea that information disappears in a black-hole versus the idea that information continues. What a debate, eh? So, right, he now comes out with this theory of alternative universes based on alternative histories, and only the one with less black-holes will dominate. The ones with black holes and alternative histories will just disappear. Cor blimey, eh? I guess they eventually get eaten by the black-holes.
Ok, so this is a method by which he’s able to combine a retraction of his previous contention that information gets destroyed, but also pull apart the views of those who opposed that view.
Where I’ve always had a problem, right, is in whether or not information is an object in its own right or whether or not it’s just a perception taken from an abstract distant point. So, what I mean, right is that if the relationship between time and information is that information is really just the history of time, then when you get to the point at which time has effectively stopped, then so too will the information. That doesn’t mean that information has been destroyed, it just means that information is no longer available because time has stopped. When you get to the point where time has restarted then so too does information, surely?
What these bleedin’ egg-heads don’t seem to get is that they are trying to apply a 4 or 5 dimensional model to the whole theory. Aspects of the truth are always going to be lost on them because of the limitations in the human brain’s experience. Yeah, ok right, the brain can process certain theories that take account of time and space, but it needs to take on board new mechanisms that are as alien in their own rights as quantum mechanics were when they were first realised. Once they’ve gone that extra mile, then they’ll be a little closer.
I mean, right, they have to start looking at how universes just ain’t linear, right? Then they’ll start to get it, innit. But the problem, right, is that thinking and calculating tends to translate into a linear process so it kinda gets in the way of running the model in the brain. Universes, eh?
