User:Sitar Physics/Gravity, randomness, data compression and the speed of light
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Newtons laws stood unshaken for about two centuries. When the maximum speed of light was discovered, the theory of gravity was no longer consistent with the theory of light. It became important to harmonize the ideas. This article presents some analogies to help in understanding this idea.

One of the main ideas of this article is that lookahead (in a game like checkers) is really a form of data compression: a weak strategy in checkers represents less information, and a good strategy represent more. But it takes more energy to look ahead, and energy is mass. Therefore we have the following:
- energy = mass = lookahead = information = momentum = strategy
