宇宙可见物质所含信息的估算

Estimation of the information contained in the visible matter of the universe

Melvin M. Vopson

摘要:

自20世纪70年代以来,宇宙的信息容量一直是一个争论不休的话题,并继续刺激物理学研究的多个分支。在这里,我们使用香农的信息论来估计宇宙中所有可见物质中编码信息的量。我们通过推导出一个详细的公式来估计可观测宇宙中的粒子总数,即爱丁顿数,并通过估计每个粒子存储的关于自身的信息量来实现这一点。我们确定了可观测宇宙中的每个粒子包含1.509比特的信息,并且在可观测宇宙的所有物质粒子中存储有6 * 10的80比特的信息。

英文摘要:

The information capacity of the universe has been a topic of great debate since 1970s, and continues to stimulate multiple branches of physics research. Here we used Shannon's information theory to estimate the amount of encoded information in all the visible matter in the universe. We achieved this by deriving a detailed formula estimating the total number of particles in the observable universe, known as the Eddington number, and by estimating the amount of information stored by each particle about itself. We determined that each particle in the observable universe contains 1.509 bits of information and there are 6 * 10 to power 80 bits of information stored in all the matter particles of the observable universe.
