Decoding The Universe by Charles Seife
How the New Science of Information Is Explaining Everything in the Cosmos, from Our Brains to Black Holes
A concise exploration of how information—measured in bits—has become a fundamental thread running through physics and cosmology, linking communication theory and thermodynamics to quantum mechanics, computation, and the nature of time. It explains entropy, Maxwell’s demon, randomness, and complexity; delves into black hole entropy, the holographic principle, and the information paradox; and argues that understanding the universe requires understanding information itself, showing how messages, measurements, and computation underpin matter, energy, and the fate of the cosmos.
