"Entropy" has been a concept in physics for a long time. Far longer than the concept of information entropy.

- jbay808 6y agoSure, but that doesn't mean that the concept of entropy in physics is a different concept than its incarnation in information theory. Just like the concept of energy existed before the development of thermodynamics, but thermodynamic energy is still energy.
- Analog24 6y agoIf you want to be pedantic about it sure. The fact remains that a discussion or blog post can be about very different things depending on the context. You're not going to learn anything about the relationship between energy and entropy, for example, if you're talking about information theory. Hence my original comment.
