In physics and evolution, a list of recent observations and experimental results challenge existing theories. For example, the universe's gravitational complexities could not have been produced by the existing matter content; time, horizon, inflation, cosmological constant, and unification present unsolved and puzzling problems. Irreconcilable conflicts can lead to a mentally weak position, inspiring just-so answers. Just so responses might have led to the simulation hypothesis that considers existence just a computer simulation. How can science, the field built on experiments and a solid understanding, consider such a far-fetched idea?
New ideas need to be tested or thoroughly argued in science before publication; therefore, scientific understanding progresses on a slow but stable footing, and conceptual leaps are rare. When newly developed techniques accumulate conflicting data with existing theories, daring and even bizarre solutions are proposed to keep the current paradigm. For example, in the nineteenth century, aether was invented to explain the spread of gravity.
For example, once accepted, general relativity became a magnet for countless applications to explore and develop the theory’s potential. However, the field's evolution reduces its flexibility. Emerging contradictions are patched up by increasingly fantastical explanations, which might have inspired the simulation hypothesis. Only radical ideas that completely change the field's current vision can solve the great schisms in the sciences.
The static time principle shows that entanglement formulates a cosmic evolution, which gives rise to polar singularities, called black and white holes. Nevertheless, the high entropy poles maintain low entropy regions between them, which have great complexity and evolutionary potential. Other recent hypotheses, such as the black hole firewall hypothesis are well-proven, yet it is not incorporated into mainstream science.
Considering the universe as a self-regulating, coherent system, it engenders its own evolution toward increasing biological complexity. In biological systems, Maxwell’s Demon utilizes the second law of thermodynamics to maintain low entropy and produce sophistication, organization, and intellect. This way, the mind emerged as a result of a global, self-regulating universe. Applying Landauer’s Principle for the brain shows how energy/information exchange increases synaptic complexity via comprehension, memory, movement, and other reactions. The fractal universe has three energy levels, the elementary particles, the mind, and the whole cosmos. Therefore, the universe’s evolution and complexity can be explained within a physicalist framework.
