Overview
- UBC Okanagan’s Mir Faizal led the work with Lawrence M. Krauss, Arshid Shabir, and Francesco Marino in an international collaboration.
- The paper, published in the Journal of Holography Applications in Physics and posted on arXiv, argues that computation cannot yield a complete, consistent theory of everything.
- The authors say certain physical truths are Gödelian, requiring non-algorithmic understanding beyond any sequence of computational steps.
- Because simulations are inherently algorithmic, the study concludes no computer could reproduce the universe or its informational foundations.
- Coverage highlights the claim’s implications for quantum gravity and a theory of everything, with no independent expert assessment reported in these articles.
