Information and the Nature of Reality《信息与事实的本质》剑桥大学出版 下载 pdf 百度网盘 epub 免费 2025 电子书 mobi 在线

Many scientists regard mass and energy as the primary currency

of nature. In recent years, however, the concept of information has

gained importance. Why? In this book, eminent scientists,

philosophers and theologians chart various aspects of information,

from quantum information to biological and digital information, in

order to understand how nature works. Beginning with an historical

treatment of the topic, the book also examines physical and

biological approaches to information, and its philosophical,

theological and ethical implications.
