I found it amusing to find analogies between how blockchain and how the Universe work. This is a napkin analysis meant for the entertainment only. Probably it has already been done in much more detail. Anyway, I hope it will amuse someone also.
- Ever increasing in size. Had Big Bang.
- Have a block time
- Not editable without impractically massive amount of work
- Public-private key pairs
- Have randomness in?
- Ever expanding. Had genesis block.
- Have Plank time - smallest possible time period
- Time is not reversable - not editable
- Entanglement phenomenon
- Uncertainty principal
Coincidence:) ?
Help me with point 5. Find analogy to the uncertainty principal of the universe to something inherently random in blockchain. Is there any randomness, uncertainty in blockchains?
