Melvin Vopson Recasts Gravity as Information Force, Challenging 95% Dark Universe

1 articles · Updated · IAI · Aug 20

Melvin Vopson argues gravity is not fundamental but emerges as matter rearranges to minimize information entropy — effectively a data-compression process in physical space.
His framework combines a second law of information dynamics with mass-energy-information equivalence, and he says it can reproduce Newton’s law of gravitation.
The proposal targets gaps in standard gravity theories, which still rely on dark matter and dark energy to explain about 95% of the universe’s inferred energy content.
Galaxy rotation curves and galaxy-cluster behavior remain key pressure points: stars orbit too fast at large radii, while lensing and velocity data still strain conventional explanations.
The theory enters a broader push to rethink gravity as physicists still lack a workable quantum-gravity model and direct detection of dark matter or dark energy.

If information is the true building block of reality, what exactly is storing the cosmic data that creates the illusion of gravity?

If gravity is merely the universe compressing its own data, does this prove we are living inside a massive holographic simulation?

Could the invisible dark matter haunting our galaxies actually be a mathematical illusion caused by the universe deleting its excess information?
