| Summary |
An objective, dynamic and physically justified concept of information is elaborated starting from Shannon's concept of entropy and applied to information technology, artificial intelligence (consciousness) and thermodynamics. The justification of an information conservation theorem acquires practical significance in information technology, especially as it moves into the quantum realm (photonics/quantum computing). The unconditional dynamics of information and its objectivity are critically examined and are the foundations of the considerations. Content Introduction Information - physically and dynamically based Comparative View to the Concept of Information Entropy and Information Dynamic Concept of Information and Thermodynamics Irreversible Processes and Structure Formation Consciousness Astronomy and Cosmology Target groups Researchers and postgraduates in the fields of information technology, physics, thermodynamics and computer science. Author Lienhard Pagel is professor emeritus of microsystems and device technology at the University of Rostock |
