So could you give us a quick primer on what a physicist means when information is the topic?
So material can have information completely coursing through it.
Unlike quantum physics, if no one's there to measure that information, the information is still there, correct?
So Chuck, I think you just stepped on the big toe of entropy.
Ah, entropy and information are closely linked.
And you just stepped on its toe because a log has much less entropy than a burned log.
Right.
Okay.
And, and, and so Charles, can you walk us through that?
Is it my turn?
Wait, wait, wait.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
No, no.
No, you said it.
What you said is just fine.
I just want to make it clear that Chuck was saying something different.
And I have to point that out.
Okay.
If you roll 10 coins and there's some chance that two will be heads and eight will be tails.
Okay, that is not the total probabilities that Charles is talking about.
