I’ve been working on a paper for a while now, and the rabbit hole always seems to go deeper and deeper. Nearing the end.
To my knowledge almost nobody else is really here at the moment making similar observations/claims about Bitcoin as physics.
Discussion
I understand completely. I ended up down this rabbit hole because I had a theory I was chasing (still chasing and refining as I learn more).
You’re the only one I’ve come across, then again, the Venn Diagram of Bitcoin/Physics is small right now. I hope you continue pursuing it. There are more people who are interested than you think. It La also be an avenue to bring a whole new group of people into Bitcoin.
I don’t get on SM a lot but I’d be interested in adding you to a group chat I have going. Sending a DM now
I think this supports your thesis. The transfer of heat (mining) quantifies the passage of “time”, encoding the change in entropy on to the ledger.

Thank you for sharing this! Yes, this is exactly correct! Is this an E-book?
Without reference to absolute finitude of Bitcoin, we are stuck with an incomplete understanding of Temperature. Lord Kelvin produced the internal (to the universe) absolute measure of Kelvin, and Planck calculated the theoretical limits, Planck Temperature. Without finitude, our understanding of this seemingly abstract limit remains unfinished.
Until Bitcoin, we could not see that Temperature is a dimensionless scalar between (0,1] defined by the internalized measuring units (Kelvin) and the finite vs bound of measure. This redefines the meaning of Boltzmann’s Constant, Planck Temperature and Planck Energy, thus entropy.
Bitcoin is the only system that demonstrates the intersection of Boltzmann Entropy and Shannon Entropy into a single measurable system. Bitcoin demonstrates the conservation of energy between the two domains of entropy (physical and informational) with each Block. When we look at Bitcoin and its Block, an internalized measure of temperature emerges, measured in satoshis, but also dimensionless and bounded between (0,1] due to the known finite supply of measure at each step of time. We literally could not understand both entropy and temperature without Bitcoin. Thus we could not understand time.
Bitcoin is the open proof to authors claim here in this clip. Bitcoin computes time through temperature. Because Bitcoin is the proof that physics could never produce, all physics must bend to Bitcoin.
