Information can never be destroyed; it can only be
transformed
There was knowledge in the beginning; in fact, there was information
even before the beginning. Knowledge is the acquirement of information into an
organized and reusable form. This is what has been happening since the
beginning of time. It is very important to note, that it happens only since the
beginning of time. The time had a beginning; information didn’t. Information is
not affected by time. It only transforms through time.
If you will, all the laws of physics, mathematics and philosophy
were already there even before we set them up as laws and accepted them. So the
information about time should have been there, even before the beginning of
time. All our equipments, theories and minds are only capable of working with
time because they are all limited and controlled by time. Even if we lived
immortally, we are still bound by time; information isn’t.
When Einstein first theorized that mass can either be formed
or destroyed through his famous equation, he actually was not aware that there
was something that was actually not to be destroyed or formed; and that was
information.
We can transform energy into mass, and mass into energy. We can
transform time into space, space into time, energy into space and time, time
into space and energy, energy into time and space and so on. We can never
transform information into something else. We can only acquire information as
knowledge. We can never destroy, or form information. It is there. If we talk
in terms of time, it is there before the existence of time. What we are going
to discover twenty centuries into the future has already been there even before
the big bang. The big bang was not a beginning of everything. In fact, the big
bang was a beginning of a universe that we know much about. There might have
been several other big bangs at the same time, and it is entirely possible that
there are parallel universes and there are much you and me out there in some
other universe. But information was there, even before the beginning of
everything.
I am struck with the information flowing in my mind. I will
come back with some clear writing some time back. If I keep on writing now,
ordinary people might not understand. My whole purpose of writing these things
on a blog is to make them available to ordinary men, women and children. It is
almost like some gateway opening up between the information repository and my
head, and I am having unlimited access for a limited time. I just don’t want to
mess up with everyone’s head.
Once I find a way to put it in a general way that all people
would understand it, I will come back and write.
For the time being go readingat http://scienetomorrow.blogspot.com/
I will get back soon.
