Abstract

We believe that well-known principles and relationships between physical entities are the key for a deep knowledge of reality. However, they must be applied using innovative points of view, points of view that can be provided by, for example, experts on information theory (as we are). Our previous efforts in this direction led to a fascinating result: the theoretical total mass of a spacetime in which Planck’s length is an observer-independent scale of length is equal (both in expression and value) to the mass of our portion of Universe measured by NASA WMAP spacecraft [1]. In the following paragraphs we’ll show how granularity (i.e. discontinuity) of physical entities of our portion of observable spacetime descends directly from the principles of information theory, and how a physical theory about the discontinuity of reality built on these basis can lead to an elegant descriptions of both microcosm and macrocosm.
