Energy and Information

Thomas Alva Edison was an outstanding inventor, some of whose works were unintentionally making use of the deepest secret of nature. His invention on the motion picture, for example, miniaturized the dynamic mechanism on how nature works.
He devised the camera capable of taking snapshots of events at 24 pictures per second and concurrently invented a projector in which a series of pictures printed in a film was projected on a screen giving us the perception of seeing events running continuously through time.
Nature works similarly as motion picture does, but instead of having 24 snapshots of events per second, we have in nature 1044 snapshots of the whole universe per second a).

While the pictures taken for the movie consisted of a series of two-dimensional images separated by gaps, those of universe is three-dimensional b) separated by a gap of nonexistence (Fig.1).


In reality, there is no such thing as a continuous [material] existence prevails in nature. Every (material) thing perpetually appears and disappears through time, except the energy which alone persists c). The persistence of matter is just an illusion d).
The law governing such mechanism should be nonlocal in order to avoid chaos during the quantum "teleportation" from the vanishing space to the new emerging space (as proved by Bell theorem). The fundamental particles that make up the universe should be teleported from the vanishing space to the new space as inseparably connected to some indivisible whole.
Such teleportation requires the preservation of [nonlocal] information to avoid chaos albeit the abrupt changes caused by perpetual creation and annihilation of the whole existence. As energy is the only substance persisting through time, this energy should carry such information. The energy and information are the two sides of the same coin.
In its development, the physics has heavily explored the energy related to the aspects of force, power or action and very little to those of information1. There are various degrees of higher dimensional energies in nature and thus higher degrees of information.
The higher the dimensions of energy, the higher the dimensions of its corresponding aspect of information are; thus the higher the degree of consciousness they possess e). It may ultimately lead us to reveal the deepest secret of life itself.
Notes:
a.    It takes the snapshots at the pace equal to the speed of light.
b.  We may relate this to Minkowski's statement that we have in the world no longer a single space, but an infinite number of spaces, analogously as there are in three-dimensional space an infinite number of planes. Three-dimensional geometry becomes a chapter in four-dimensional physics 2. We should remind, however, that those spaces do not exist simultaneously but in successive order, in the sense that the individual space appears and disappears one after another
successively giving us a perception the succession of time.
c.    This phenomenon is described by the Einstein equation E = mc2 in the sense that m (mass) perpetually created and annihilated out of and into energy (E) at the pace equal to the speed of light (c).
d.    The Copenhagen interpretation holds that the unmeasured electron is not a real one in the sense that it never possesses definite but all possible attribute values. The electron becomes real only in the act of measurement. This interpretation was comically extended to the macroscopic thought experiment using a famous cat [named Schrodinger] 3 in place of an electron where the poor cat was both alive and dead at the same time when was not observed.
e.    The energy inherently capability to store and process information may in some extent be called consciousness. It is the underlying reality of why there are various degrees of consciousness and lives in nature.
