“THE GSL ALLOWS US to set bounds on the information capacity of any isolated physical system, limits that refer to the information at all levels of structure down to level X.” (GSL = generalized second law). https://lnkd.in/draqjTW View in LinkedIn

LIMITS OF INFO CAPACITY. “In 1980 I began studying the first such bound, called the universal entropy bound, which limits how much entropy can be carried by a specified mass of a specified size.” https://lnkd.in/draqjTW View in LinkedIn

LIMITS OF ENTROPY. “A related idea, the holographic bound, was foreshadowed in 1993 by Nobel laureate Gerard t Hooft of the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands and developed in 1995 by Leonard Susskind of Stanford University. It limits how much entropy can be contained in matter and energy occupying a specified volume of space.” https://lnkd.in/draqjTW View in LinkedIn

ENORMOUS CAPACITY. “We can now answer some of those elusive questions about the ultimate limits of information storage. A device measuring a centimeter across could in principle hold up to 10(66) bits--a mind-boggling amount.” https://lnkd.in/draqjTW View in LinkedIn

ALL OF THE PROXIMAL EVERYTHING. “The visible universe contains at least 10(100) bits of entropy, which could in principle be packed inside a sphere a tenth of a light-year across.” https://lnkd.in/draqjTW View in LinkedIn

BURNT NORTON. “The methodological base of Natural sciences is the metaphysical concept of Time and metrology of time since the gross aim of Natural sciences is the investigation of Present in order to predict the Future and to explain the Past.” https://lnkd.in/dZGqaxD View in LinkedIn

“The interactions between flowering plants and insect pollinators shape ecological communities and provide one of the best examples of coevolution. “https://lnkd.in/dnKW6bS View in LinkedIn

BIG SUMS. “Estimating the entropy of the universe is a difficult problem, however, and much larger numbers, requiring a sphere almost as big as the universe itself, are entirely plausible.” https://lnkd.in/draqjTW View in LinkedIn

SURPRISING CLUE. “But it is another aspect of the holographic bound that is truly astonishing. Namely, that the maximum possible entropy depends on the boundary area instead of the volume.” https://lnkd.in/draqjTW View in LinkedIn

INFO AND ENTROPY. “Imagine that we are piling up computer memory chips in a big heap. The number of transistors--the total data storage capacity--increases with the volume of the heap. So, too, does the total thermodynamic entropy of all the chips.” https://lnkd.in/draqjTW View in LinkedIn
