What is the essence of the Internet?

Some scholars regard the Internet all over the world as a space. Every computer on the Internet is a point in the space, and the IP address can be regarded as the coordinates of this computer in the cyberspace.

Of course, this is a very special space, because the distance between any two points in the space is zero (ignoring the problems of network bandwidth and congestion), and we can call it "hyperspace"

Hyperspace has many very interesting properties.

For example, it has no direction, no dimension, and can accommodate extremely huge data.

Even the Internet is a bit like the "spiritual world" or "spiritual realm" in fairy tales or fantasy novel.

Some scientists believe that the ultimate form of cosmic civilization is the super robot network.

At that time, in this hyperspace with the information of the whole universe, a virtual reality may appear to reproduce the history of the whole universe.
