The realm of information entropy research represents a multidisciplinary field, merging mathematical theories with real-world data. At its core, information entropy is the study of uncertainty in ...

Do we live in a simulation? This is one of those questions which has kept at least part of humanity awake at night, and which has led to a number of successful books and movies being made on the ...

Information theory provides a mathematical framework for quantifying information and uncertainty, forming the backbone of modern communication, signal processing, and data analysis. Central to this ...

The story begins with the black hole information paradox. According to relativity, anything that falls into a black hole is ...

Many philosophers and scientists have pondered if we live in a simulated universe, and University of Portsmouth scientist Melvin Vopson believes he has evidence. Using his previously formulated Second ...

Entropy is one of the most useful concepts in science but also one of the most confusing. This article serves as a brief introduction to the various types of entropy that can be used to quantify the ...

We have long taken it for granted that gravity is one of the basic forces of nature—one of the invisible threads that keeps the universe stitched together. But suppose that this is not true. Suppose ...

Someone directed me to an article in Smithsonian Magazine, “Secret Mathematical Patterns Revealed in Bach’s Music” (February 16, this year). It reports on a study that attempted to quantify the ...
