Binary theory of space time

Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle is a derivation of a larger principal which says when information is available in a certain event the behavior of the participants are modified.

Traveling of a wave or particle can be seen as a transmission of information from one location to another. Even location can be considered as information, then traveling is change of information.

A particle is at a certain location at a certain time is information. This applies even to a wave. The difference is, a wave gives lesser amount of information.

We may be able to visualize the universe not as a system where waves and particles are located at a certain instant, but as a system of information only.

Waves and particles are a convenience given to us by our senses.

All information of the universe can be represented by a binary map meaning that all information of the universe in an instant can be given by a binary number. After any change in the next instant it can be shown by a different binary number.

Another thing change from one instant to another instant only one binary can change, multiple binaries cannot change. This may be treated as a definition at the moment, until it is proved why it has to be so.

Flow of time is a series of changes in the binary number. We do not need a different definition for time, outside this binary number, since we treat change of universe is a basic attribute and change of one binary as the basic change. The larger the binary number the smaller the change becomes. The size of the binary number is limited by the size of the universe. It should be noted that this binary number incorporates all particles of the universe as well as all waves, visible matter, dark matter and even dark energy.

This binary number is finite, at the moment it is accepted that the universe is finite, therefore it is compatible to treat this number as finite.

 Unfortunately this binary number will explain only the classical physics, quantum theory and uncertancy principal need modifications to zeros and ones. It may be necessary to be replaced by a probability function.

Further, to incorporate principal of causality, we need to connect in some way, or link two or more locations of zeros and ones.

Achilles and Tortoise Paradox

Achilles and Tortoise Paradox. The paradox is Achilles and tortoise will have a race. The tortoise is given a head start say 100 meters. Suppose both started running at the same instant. It will take some time for Achilles to run the 100 meters. In this time the tortoise will have moved ahead say 10 meters. Then Achilles will need a further time to catch up the tortoise. When Achilles reaches the next point the tortoise has moved a further small distance. So, when Achilles reaches some point the tortoise has reached, he will have to go farther. Therefore, Achilles need to go to infinite number of points to overtake the tortoise, which, is impossible. So, he will never overtake the tortoise.

In reality commonsense says this cannot be, Achilles will easily overtake the tortoise. Therefore this is a paradox.

Is it? The problem is that we assume that space and time are continuous entities which can be divided indefinitely. It is not so. Time and space are discrete. The locomotion is not a smooth one where it can be divided in to infinitely. The movement is in jumps. At one stage Achilles will jump over the tortoise.
