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?

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

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