A physicist proposes that space-time is not empty but stores information like memory, potentially resolving quantum gravity puzzles and impacting quantum computing.

Why it matters: This idea bridges general relativity and quantum theory by treating space-time as discrete memory cells carrying information.

The big picture: The framework could unify all four fundamental forces and offer a new understanding of dark matter as stored information.

Quick takeaway: Testing via quantum computers showed about 90% accuracy in simulating space-time’s memory effect and improved quantum computing error correction.

Commenters say: Many find the concept intriguing and innovative, though some question experimental testability and whether it truly advances beyond existing quantum gravity theories.
