Entropy

The world is made for you, and it’s built with information. In this epic journey of a 5-minute read, we’ll explore the concept of information, its relationship to physics and entropy, and how our understanding of the universe is nothing but a process of acquiring and deciphering information. What is information? Information comes…

Navigating the Interconnectedness of Physics and Life The world we live in is a complex and interconnected system, where everything from the tiniest subatomic particles to the grandest cosmic structures is intricately interwoven. While our understanding of this interconnectedness has deepened over the centuries through the study of physics and…

A Short Introduction to Information by Christian Zuniga, PhD In 1948 Claude Shannon published his legendary paper “A Mathematical Theory of Communication” founding the important subject of information theory [1]. His main insights are: There is a way of quantifying the amount of information in data There is a capacity…

The ability to adapt quickly is increasingly important in urban design, as the world is changing faster and entropy is growing. Rapid adaptation is especially critical during times of crisis, such as the COVID-19 pandemic has shown. Evolution is still based on natural selection, but not all adaptations are good…

Entropy is a crucial concept in chemistry and physics. I am trying to emphasise known good practices in software application development through the lens of entropy. A simple definition of entropy is “It is measure of disorder”. “Entropy is measure of how complex a system is” I find this definition…

Applying Scientific Principles to Life and Decision-Making I was invited to my previous research institute (http://www.inspem.upm.edu.my/) to deliver a talk on experience sharing from theoretical physics to the AI industry. There, I highlighted several useful principles of science in life that would be beneficial if they were applied in your…

I’ve been getting some rather strange comments on A More Plausible Holographic Principle and Explanation for Dark Matter/Energy | by Wes Hansen | Feb, 2023 | Medium and Is the cause of both dark matter and dark energy entropic? | by Wes Hansen | Feb, 2023 | Medium, both about…

A gentle introduction to information theory, entropy, information gain and decision trees The first time I came across the term entropy was in A level Chemistry as a measurable, physical, thermodynamic quantity. …

Showing that there is no hope is contagious. What is meant by entropy in our context? Entropy is, in its simplest and most general meaning, the loss of order or the magnitude of chaos in any system, be it computer, social, or any other field. Spanish version Programador pragmático — Lucha contra la entropía El mostrar que no hay esperanza es contagiosomedium.com Therefore, as a professional in a career such as engineering and…
