Data physics
This appears to be someone's personal epiphany and discovery that the universe is really a large data structure. &mdash;Ghakko 12:49, 29 July 2005 (UTC)


 * I am no scientist but even I could do better at writing physics than this author. It lacks all credibility in my eyes and should be deleted unless someone with knowledge of the alleged subject area comes along to defend it. -David91 13:07, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
 * The author of the article, Daveulmer, states on xyr user page that xe is "David J. Ulmer inventor of Geocaching and Data physics among other things". This is confirmed by this Usenet post by Dave Ulmer which ends with "Sorry, this is too long. Anyway, I have never met another person on this planet that has ever studied any of the stuff that I am studying.".  Given the answers to this Usenet post a few years later, it would seem that it is still the case that only Dave Ulmer propounds this concept.  This is therefore original research, pure and simple.  Looking at potential rewrite candidates, only Data Physics Corporation stands out in any way.  Delete. Uncle G 14:09:52, 2005-07-29 (UTC)
 * While the fact that it is pseudoscience in of itself is not a criteria for deletion, the first several hits on google are for a corporation called Data Physics or coincidental pairings of the words "data" and "physics" in articles unrelated to the subject. Therefore it is not verifiable, and is likely original research. Delete. -Satori 16:07, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
