Mathematical Information Reality Theory: A New Paradigm for Understanding Consciousness and the Universe Credit: Original article on Substack Quite an interesting take on, well, everything. At PCP, we are always keeping an eye out on ground breaking theories and ideas as that's the way we push forward. Time and testing will tell if ideas such as these come to fruition and define the path forward. Enjoy! Introduction to Mathematical Information Reality (MIR) Theory Mathematical Information Reality (MIR) Theory represents a groundbreaking paradigm shift in our understanding of the universe. This unified framework proposes that reality is fundamentally composed of mathematical...

Hydrolyzed Beef Protein vs. Whey: What You Need to Know Why Comparing Hydrolyzed Beef Protein to Whey, Plant, or Collagen Is Missing the Point If you're comparing hydrolyzed beef protein to other proteins based on price alone, you’re not seeing the full picture. It’s like comparing a power drill to a power saw—both are tools, but they serve different purposes. So, why should you choose hydrolyzed beef protein? What makes it better than whey, collagen, casein, or plant-based proteins? Let’s break it down. What Is Hydrolyzed Beef Protein? Unlike whey, which comes from dairy, hydrolyzed beef protein is derived from...
