Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
Basically the observable universe is made up of information, the amount of which can be calculated from the size of the boundary which encloses it. This is similar to how the mass of a black hole can be calculated from the size of its horizon. This information is essentially the rapid fluctuation of "space" at the Planck scale, and starting from this concept, it is possible to derive relativity and explain cosmological observations that Einstein's equations and the standard model couldn't in their current forms.
