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

INVIOLABLE THERMODYNAMICS. “I conjectured that when matter falls into a black hole, the increase in black hole entropy always compensates or overcompensates for the lost entropy of the matter. More generally, the sum of black hole entropies and the ordinary entropy outside the black holes cannot decrease. This is the generalized second law--GSL for short.” https://lnkd.in/draqjTW 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

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

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

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

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

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

“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

SORKIN’S PREDICTION. “Even in thermodynamic terms, this is a vast quantity of entropy. The entropy of a black hole one centimeter in diameter would be about 10(66) bits, roughly equal to the thermodynamic entropy of a cube of water 10 billion kilometers on a side.” https://lnkd.in/draqjTW View in LinkedIn
