Thirteen billion years ago, billows of hydrogen clouds filled the universe. You were there.
Laplace’s demon traces back every hydrogen atom in your body to those cosmic cumuli. Let’s keep it simple and assume that we are just atoms and the void.
Atoms self-organized over billions of years – into you. And what do you know? Astounding things!
The volume of the universe – with its two trillion visible galaxies – is a hologram! Those two trillion galaxies began as pure energy squeezed into a point smaller than an atom! And crazier yet: Information is more fundamental than matter or energy.
Do you know what information is?
You.
