Back in 2009 Alex Dragusin hypothesized: "In a finite space there must be a finite number of events, which are strictly related (in a cause-effect chain) to the finite constraints, are therefore not random."
In the absence of high enough computational resolution one would perceive this as randomness. This is also related to the quest for determining if we live in a simulation.
- lorepieri 7y ago"In a finite space there must be a finite number of events" seems to have counterexamples: take events which occur on vanishing small space, then you can fit an infinite number of them in finite space. Think about converging infinite series.
- SAI_Peregrinus 7y agoEven simpler: there are an infinite number of real numbers in the interval between 0 and 1. Indeed, between any two real numbers. If spacetime itself isn't quantized then you get an infinite number of possible events, even within a finite hypervolume of spacetime.
- goldenkey 7y agoI think the author means discrete when they say finite. In that case, they mean Doubly special relativity. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubly_special_relativity https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubly_special_relativity Doubly special relativity - Wikipedia
