That would mean that information-theory is not part of physics, right? So, Information Theory and Entropy, are part of metaphysics?

- ajkjk 2y agoWell it's part of math, which physics is already based on. Whereas metaphysics is, imo, "stuff that's made up and doesn't matter". Probably not the most standard take.
- galaxyLogic 2y agoI'm wondering, isn't Information Theory as much part of physics as Thermodynamics is?
- ajkjk 2y agoNot really. Information theory applies to anything probability applies to, including many situations that aren't "physics" per se. For instance it has a lot to do with algorithms and data as well. I think of it as being at the level of geometry and calculus.
