I tell my students that will listen that the world fundamentally is built up of matter, energy, and information. The three are totally interconnected because you can’t move one without using the other two.This is a problem starting to rear its ugly head in Virginia . . .
I continue to be baffled by the extraordinary value of information.
I have a theory about the universe, intelligence, and emergent complexity. The universe will slowly but inevitably sag into heat death, and the purpose of intelligence is to make it happen quicker. It is the steeper gradient on the path.
