Information is Physical and gives Universal Energy its functionality (original) (raw)

2020, Information is Physcial

Abstract To understand the value of information and its equivalence and interconnectedness with universal energy, I will argue that information is equal to energy. I propose that information obeys all universal laws of physics and forms an essential part of the fabric of all living systems. Information gives universal energy its functionality. Energy is needed for living systems to build, move, transport, create, fabricate, live, be sustained, be stable, viable, but can’t do that without information in the form of communication, conversation, cooperation, learning, adaptation and adjustment by way of cognition i.e. the mental and biological action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience and the senses a.k.a. the process of knowing. Charles Darwin wrote; ‘each slight variation if useful, is preserved’ (Darwin, Charles, 1859). Information is a part of and essential for all living systems, a condition for life and evolution. Information is conserved and preserved by nature as an intrinsic part of the atomic and subatomic building blocks of nature. Man-build organisations, institutions, governments, industries, ideologies, as well as our planet and the universe are living systems. Cognition is not just a human ability but a symbiotic necessity for the viability of all living systems because of their natural interdependence and interconnectedness. By determining that information is a condition for living systems for them to be sustained, I aim to demonstrate by means of a case study that ethics and social responsibility is information too and are inescapable, deontological conditions for order, structure and beauty and thus for sustainability, mitigating vulnerability and risk.
