29:00 (25:22 if you didnt see the deamon part yet) - If you build a machine that can mimic the actions of the daemon, that machine will be using energy so that is not ONLY information. Furthermore our body's are basically biochemical machines, we run off of biochemical energy, our brains use that energy to pass electrical charges around in there to formulate ideas and other information so even if there was a daemon who could do that he would not be ONLY using information, he will use energy to formulate that information then use the information and more energy to react to let the right particles in. Just my thoughts on that.

@glutinousmaximus7 років тому
Hello Scott. It's from the Romantic period - size 97 X 200 cm. (1 metre by 2 metres) Two shepherds in the right foreground, 2 sheep and a small dog. A lake and two small waterfalls midgound (one with 2 cupids) and old stately home on the background. I don't actually have a photograph at the moment, but I suppose I could arrange to have one taken. There is another slightly smaller tapestry designed to slide along a pole 160 X 90 cm.

Information isn't that which is "unexpected", but rather a physical change (of the state of a system).

yeah it's wierd, action at a distance changes the "state" of a system, but you can't send information faster than c so I think your definition is lacking something. But I don't have the information to tell you what it is
@abstractapproach6347 років тому
maybe a physical change in the reciever that can be related to the sender in some deterministic way....still probably no good but might explain the "speed of dark" and "action at a distance"
@brajabasisahu52817 років тому
Correct.
@sedevacantist17 років тому
I salute your attempt at understanding the meaning of information. Jim Al-Khalili may truly be confused or purposefully disingenuous. The reason why he would be dishonest is because of his world-view of materialism. Mr. Al-Khalili defines information correctly some of the time and incorrectly at other times. I see his error reflected in your post “physical change (of the state of a system).” Allow me to clearly explain his and your misinterpretation of information. Mr. Al-Khalili with an eye dropper and slow motion observes the fluid dynamics that a drop of water makes when dropped from several inches into a bowl of water. Mr. Al-Khalili describes this as representing a large amount of information when in fact there is no information present at all. Information is not material; matter or energy. If the actual event were described through Information it would be an abstract substitutional representation of the event. The event was what it was and is only capable of representing itself as itself. To be clear, one cannot claim that everything in the universe is information, which would correspond to the world-view of materialism in so much that it incorporates information as all actual events in time and not just a description of an event or an understanding of the events abstractly, which requires an intelligent mind. This truth has wider reaching implications which are destroyed by purposefully misdefining information to promote a world view.
@brajabasisahu52817 років тому
It is much more difficult to answer the question --" What is Information ? " --then answer the question -" Does God exist ? .To the second question -there are two answers--(1)Yes (2)No .Then comes a third answer --God sometimes appear to Exist and sometimes appears Not to exist...Then more and more answers are found by permutation and combination of these three answers--like creating longer and longer Binary Numbers...But to the first question ,there are No Two Answers.. So you have to start with some answer and continue the discussion....Some explanation is better than No explanation.

Info = order Faster (hotter) or slower (colder) than average particle has more info. Average particle has less. Or non uniformity = info. Uniformity = no info. Bits (yes or no) are unitary symbols.
@Alwaleed76107 років тому
Can´t the demon example be explained by simply stating that the very act of computation taking place (Sensing the velocity and trajectory of each particle, processing this visual information and then computing the exact time when the slot should be opened) requires the expenditure of energy in any case? Why would the 'deletion' of memory be the only process that expends energy?
@JasonJason2107 років тому
Alwaleed7610 Precisely. The demon doesn't need a big memory.
@johnhepp7 років тому
I had another question about that demon problem... what about the energy used to open and close the partition?
@Alwaleed76107 років тому
Good point.
@mickelodiansurname95787 років тому
Lazer Liteshow you have to assume there's no energy involved in that. The thought experiment has been modified over time to account for culture and advances in technology. So let's say the barrier was an electromagnetic field and on one side only fast moving particles could penetrate it and on the other side fast moving particles were repelled. Lets also assume the field itself made up less than 0.00001% of the energy in the entire system... or some other tiny amount... now you don't need doorways OR a demon... but the logic still holds. The problem is obviously that for one thing even if it worked then the separation of hot to cold areas would still take time. Secondly the time taken is related to the speed of the fast particles and the slow ones... the slow ones will obviously take longer to move to the SLOW box... At some point in time you will have one box with zero fast moving particles which has not yet captured all the slow ones... they are still in the box with the fast ones... But the memory or 'information' barrier still cannot be overcome. Eventually the system will need to make room for memory of events and if you delete the existing information it uses up energy from the system by putting the particles back where they were. In current computer science one way of minimising this effect is the use of memristors as opposed to transistors in integrated circuits... but even so the information barrier will catch up... eventually. So you can make the system efficient.... but even at 100% efficiency you cannot get all of the fast and all of the slow particles into the boxes without the system needing to delete. Its a pity Maxwell was dealt the 19th century.... he'd have had a real ball in the mid 20th century.
@adamrspears19816 років тому
Alwaleed7610 Because the Entropy of that system continues to increase. There are too many particles for the demon to know each one's position & vibration. Entropy is hidden information.
@Odisej1Рік тому
is there episode 3?
@hal9000xxl5 років тому
I don't get demon concept at all. I guess if he is demon he can open door and close them with out using energy to begin with lol. Also that barrier that traps molecules on one side has to stop slow molecules in some way. Of course that would be molecules hit barrier and thus they would transfer some energy to that barrier. Barrier it self would hit up eventually and radiate that heat into space thus increase entropy. And what kind of screen would that filter have to be anyways? It has to be material and I am not aware of any material or space condition including vacuum that stops energy from expending and increase entropy. If you manage to hit up one side of cube, well that heat would use that barrier to transfer it self to the other side with out even opening some door or not.

xyzllii Would you believe most of the evidence now points to Lovelace being more of an advisor and having nothing to do with the programming of the difference engine. It never got off the ground anyway and if it did and she had lived maybe thing would be different. But as it turns out most of the actual work in terms of instructions was done by Babbage himself and sent to her in many cases years after he produced it himself. So Lovelace probably would have been the worlds first programmer... if she was given the opportunity. But that was not the case.. unfortunately.
