Building the metaverse using digital twins at all scales,states,and relations

Developments in new-generation information technology have enabled Digital Twins to reshape the physical world into a virtual digital space and provide technical support for constructing the Metaverse.Metaverse objects can be at the micro-,meso-,or macroscale.The Metaverse is a complex collection of solid,liquid,gaseous,plasma,and other uncertain states.Additionally,the Metaverse integrates tangibles with social relations,such as interpersonal(friends,partners,and family)and social relations(ethics,morality,and law).This review introduces some principles and laws,such as broken windows theory,small-world phenomenon,survivor bias,and herd behavior,for constructing a Digital Twins model for social relations.Therefore,from multiple perspectives,this article reviews mappings of tangible and intangible real-world objects to the Metaverse using the Digital Twins model.
