Re: Dembski is the Newton of Information???
Modulous:
That is to say that thermodynamics is the most straightforward way to demonstrate that information is eventually lost. That information cannot be created is also based in thermodynamics.
Perhaps I am a bit awry with my understanding, but doesn't thermodynamics just say that it is statistically improbable that information can and will be produced, not that it can't be produced or is forever lost?

Re: Improbable information
Modulous:
We cannot increase our maximum storage capacity since this would mean creating energy (which is the idea I had in mind when I mentioned it originally), but we can decrease our current storage capacity by increasing the amount of unworkable energy in the system and of course we can increase our local storage capacity by doing work.
Very well, I like this. All anything that could increase information can do is increase info in an area, not throughout the whole system, I see. Thanks.
