Nothing Matters
The personal science website of Kevin Donahue
Welcome. This site is home to the Quantum Family Tree Theory (simple explanation) — a framework proposing that spacetime itself is emergent from quantum entanglement relationships. The core idea is simple: distance isn't where you are, it's how related you are.
The universe, on this view, began with a single quantum event — a superposition, a maybe — and every particle that exists today is a descendant of that original state. The geometry of space is the genealogy of that family tree.
You'll also find writing here on other matters: physics, genetics, cosmology, computational biology, and whatever else seems worth thinking about in a universe where nothing matters.

Phase C Results: Holographic Scaling Confirmed — March 2026
Depth 4 simulations (30 qubits, 16 leaves, 10 trees) complete. Distance scales logarithmically with inverse entanglement — R² = 0.993. The Ryu-Takayanagi relationship emerges from genealogy.
