The smell of subjectivity clings to the mechanical definition of complexity as stubbornly as it sticks to the definition of information.

If you don't understand something, break it apart; reduce it to its components. Since they are simpler than the whole,you have a much better chance of understanding them; and when you have succeeded in doing that, put the whole thing back together again.

The switch from 'steam engines' to 'heat engines' signals the transition from engineering practice to theoretical science.

Paradox is the sharpest scalpel in the satchel of science. Nothing concentrates the mind as effectively, regardless of whether it pits two competing theories against each other, or theory against observation, or a compelling mathematical deduction against ordinary common sense.

An electron is real; a probability is not.

If the intensity of the material world is plotted along the horizontal axis, and the response of the human mind is on the vertical, the relation between the two is represented by the logarithmic curve. Could this rule provide a clue to the relationship between the objective measure of information, and our subjective perception of it?

Information gently but relentlessly drizzles down on us in an invisible, impalpable electric rain.
