Abstract

Information and entropy, infotropy, life and time Dr Peter Verheyen, DMD from Sola Society & Academy, Vienna University, explains the intriguing areas of information and entropy, plus infotropy, life and time. Among many other issues, Carlo Rovelli is trying to figure out the nature of time. ‘We have a classical world and a fundamental world, and on a fundamental level, time doesn’t exist’. (1) To him, time appears when a quantum state collapses into a classical reality. Paul Davies ‘Wave function collapse is projection into a single concrete reality’. (2) To Carlo Rovelli, the fact that the collapse and outcome is not repeatable, these facts/happenings create time.
