Abstract
This paper explores the idea that the universe is a virtual reality created by information processing, and relates this strange idea to the findings of modern physics about the physical world. The virtual reality concept is familiar to us from online worlds, but our world as a virtual
reality is usually a subject for science fiction rather than science. Yet logically the world could be an information simulation running on a multi-dimensional space-time screen. Indeed, if the essence of the universe is information, matter, charge, energy and movement could be aspects of
information, and the many conservation laws could be a single law of information conservation. If the universe were a virtual reality, its creation at the big bang would no longer be paradoxical, as every virtual system must be booted up. It is suggested that whether the world is an objective reality or a virtual reality is a matter for science to resolve. Modern information science can
suggest how core physical properties like space, time, light, matter and movement could derive from information processing. Such an approach could reconcile relativity and quantum theories,with the former being how information processing creates space-time, and the latter how it
creates energy and matter. Key words: Digital physics, virtual reality, information theory Modern online games show that information processing can create virtual “worlds”, with their own time, space, entities and objects, e.g. “The Sims”. However that our physical world is a virtual reality (VR) is normally considered a topic of science fiction, religion or philosophy, not a theory of physics. Yet the reader is asked to keep an open mind, as one should at least consider a theory before rejecting it. This paper asks if a world that behaves just like the world we live in
could arise from a VR simulation. It first defines what VR theory entails, asks if it is logically possible, then considers if it explains known facts better than other theories.
