Information is all around us and comes in many forms. It's not just bits and bytes, it's also the element of surprise we experience when we learn something new. Claude Shannon, a Pioneer in the field of information theory proposed that the receiver is the most important part of communication. Nature is the ultimate source of information and we The Observers interpret the data we receive from the world around us from subatomic particles to galaxies. Everything we interact with is a manifestation of information entropy. A key Concept in thermodynamics can be understood as a measure of information in a system. High entropy means more information while low entropy implies less information. The second law of Thermodynamics tells us that the total information within a system can only increase or remain constant over time. The physical world as information challenges the idea of an observer-independent reality since our understanding of the universe is based on the information we acquire. The notion of reality is inherently tied to our experiences as observers however through inter-subjectivity we can establish a shared sense of reality that transcends into visual perceptions. The world of information offers valuable insights into the nature of reality and our place in the cosmos. Our collective experience and understanding of the world around us helped to refine and solidify our shared interpretation of the universe, creating a coherent and consistent model that we can all agree upon.
