Claude Shannon, the founder of information theory, invented a way to measure 'the amount of information' in a message without defining the word 'information' itself, nor even addressing the question of the meaning of the message.

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

An electron is real; a probability is not.

In order to understand information, we must define it; bit in order to define it, we must first understand it. Where to start?

Underneath the shifting appearances of the world as perceived by our unreliable senses, is there, or is there not, a bedrock of objective reality?

The solution of the Monty Hall problem hinges on the concept of information, and more specifically, on the relationship between added information and probability.

We don't know what energy is, any more than we know what information is, but as a now robust scientific concept we can describe it in precise mathematical terms, and as a commodity we can measure, market, regulate and tax it.
