Information transforms from "summary" of Decoding the Universe by Charles Seife
Information can change everything. It is a force that can alter the fabric of reality, molding the universe in its own image. Just as matter can transform from one state to another, so too can information undergo a metamorphosis, shifting from one form to another. At its core, information is a fundamental building block of the cosmos, shaping the world around us in ways both subtle and profound. It is the essence of communication, the currency of thought, the stuff of dreams. And like any currency, it can be exchanged, traded, and manipulated to create new possibilities. When information transforms, it can lead to new insights, new discoveries, new inventions. It can open doors to worlds previously unimagined, revealing hidden connections and patterns that were once obscured. It can spark revolutions, both scientific and social, that shake the very foundations of our understanding. But information is not always static. It is a dynamic force that flows through the universe, constantly changing and evolving. As it moves from one state to another, it carries with it the potential for transformation, for growth, for renewal.- Information is the key to unlocking the mysteries of the universe. It is the thread that weaves together the fabric of reality, connecting us to the world around us in ways we are only beginning to understand. And as we decode the secrets of the cosmos, we are also decoding the essence of information itself.
