Entropy and information theory offer a robust quantitative framework for decoding the complexity inherent in landscape patterns. By drawing from principles in thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, ...

A new study proposes a radically simple and efficient way of calculating the complex physical quantity known as entropy -- and it probably exists on your own computer. Entropy, a measure of the ...

Ask anybody what the physical world is made of, and you are likely to be told matter and energy. Yet if we have learned anything from engineering, biology and physics, information is just as crucial ...

Gravity, long the sovereign force in the cosmic hierarchy, may be little more than a statistical side effect a byproduct of entropy, not a fundamental interaction. That is the provocative assertion ...
