La palabra información está
formada por dos vocablos de origen latino que son: in, que significa en,
dentro de, y formare que significa dar forma. Por lo que significa “forma interna”, “lo que da la forma
interna” la información es diferente a la materia o energía Existen procesos en los cuales se transmite instantáneamente información, pero no materia o energía. La información es diferente a la materia
o energía (puede usar materia / energía para la transmisión instantánea de la
información pero no necesariamente esta trasmitiendo instantáneamente la
materia / energía) Transmisión instantánea y simultánea de
información
La Información fluye, se almacena, se percibe, se procesa, se
transmite y se presenta en múltiples aspectos incluyendo los estudiados por:
la Teoría de la Información, la Lingüística Matemática, la Cibernética, etc. Aspects of information
/ Aspectos de la Información Datos, Entropía e Información, Conocimiento |

************************************************************************ Por qué la realidad fundamental del universo no es la materia o la energía: es la información Por: Alejandro de Pourtales - 30/09/2012 a las 21:09:45 The Information: A History, A Theory, A Flood, James Gleick. Pantheon Books, New York

Information: A History, a Theory, a Flood is a book by science history
writer James Gleick,
author of Chaos:
Making a New Science. It covers the genesis of our current information age. The Information
has also been published in ebook formats by Fourth Estate and Random House, and as an audiobook by Random House Audio.
The Information was on the New York Times best-seller
list for 3 weeks following its debut from 27 March 2011. ... Synopsis Gleick begins
with the tale of colonial European explorers and their fascination with
African talking drums
and their observed use to send complex and widely understood messages
back and forth between villages far apart, and over even longer distances by
relay. Gleick transitions from the information implications of such drum
signaling to the impact of the arrival of long distance telegraph and then telephone communication to the commercial
and social prospects of the industrial age
west. Research to improve these technologies ultimately led to our
understanding the essentially digital nature of information, quantized down to the unit
of the bit (or qubit). Starting with
the development of symbolic written language (and the eventual perceived need
for a dictionary), Gleick examines the history
of intellectual insights central to information theory,
detailing the key figures responsible such as Claude Shannon, Charles Babbage, Ada Byron, Samuel Morse, Alan Turing, Stephen Hawking, Richard Dawkins and John Archibald
Wheeler. The author also delves into how digital information is
now being understood in relation to physics and genetics. Following the circulation of Claude Shannon's A
Mathematical Theory of Communication and Norbert Wiener's Cybernetics many
disciplines attempted to jump on the information theory bandwagon to varying
success. Information theory concepts of data compression and error correction became especially
important to the computer and electronics industries. Gleick finally
discusses Wikipedia as an emerging internet based Library of Babel, investigating the
implications of its expansive user generated content, including the ongoing struggle
between inclusionists, deletionists, and vandals.
Gleick uses the Jimmy Wales
created article for the Cape Town butchery restaurant Mzoli's as a case study of this struggle.
The flood of information humanity is now exposed to presents new challenges
Gleick says, as we retain more of our information now than at any previous
point in human history, it takes much more effort to delete or remove
unwanted information than to accumulate it. This is the ultimate entropy cost of generating additional
information and the answer to slay Maxwell's Demon." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Information:_A_History,_a_Theory,_a_Flood The

Reviews Review "This is
the anthology we have been waiting for ... seminal papers deal with matter
through the history of Greek thought, seventeenth-century materialism and
twentieth-century dematerialism, the need for a new scientific world view in
the light of the quantum nature of the universe, and the storage and
transmission of information in biological systems with the new knowledge of
their genomes and development ... Philosophers, theologians and scientists
all have their say, wrestling with the theme of God as the ultimate
informational and structuring principle in the universe." Professor Sir
Brian Heap, St Edmund's College, President, European Academies Science
Advisory Board, German Academy of Sciences "... an
illustrious cast of senior academics with backgrounds ranging from
theoretical physics, through molecular biology, to philosophy and
theology." Book
Description Many scientists
regard mass and energy as the primary currency of nature. In recent years,
however, the concept of information has gained importance. In this book,
eminent scientists, philosophers and theologians chart various aspects of
information, from quantum information to biological and digital information,
to understand how nature works. (Masa, energía e información ) La
información podría ser uno de los constituyentes básicos de la materia. Publicado por Jorge Arreola Entropía de GalaxiasŞ el 21 diciembre, 2010 "En la introducción a la obra, titulada “Information and the Nature of Reality: From Physics to Metaphysics” (La información y la naturaleza de la realidad: de la física a la metafísica), se explica que las nociones heredadas sobre el mundo material no pueden explicar los hallazgos realizados, a lo largo del siglo XX, por la física y la biología. La idea, mantenida durante siglos, de que la materia está formada por partículas sólidas, con masa, impenetrables y móviles, así como las leyes que suponían que se podía predecir cualquier hecho (materialismo clásico y determinismo), se han visto sacudidas por las realidades mostradas por discplinas como la termodinámica y la física cuántica o por el estudio de las estructuras disipativas o del caos, entre otros. ¿Qué ha pasado, entonces, con la noción tradicional acerca de la materia y del mundo material? ¿Dónde queda ahora lo que los científicos denominan el “Mito de la Materia”? Para tratar de responder a estas preguntas, Davies se cuestiona en el presente libro qué sucedería si comenzáramos a no asumir que las relaciones matemáticas de las llamadas “leyes de la naturaleza” son el nivel descriptivo más básico de la realidad material, y qué pasaría si pasáramos a darle a la “información” el valor de fundamento, a partir del cual la realidad física se construye." ************************************************************************ ************************************************************************ |
