FAREWELL TO ENTROPY,A

Mehr zum Buch

The book proposes a transformative view of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics by substituting the term "entropy" with "information," "missing information," or "uncertainty." This shift aims to clarify the driving forces behind various processes through the lens of informational changes, alleviating the confusion surrounding entropy. It covers probability and information theory fundamentals, re-derives key equations using informational arguments, and analyzes processes through this new framework, positioning information as the core concept in thermodynamics.
