Philip Cunningham offers: Information is quantum

IBM Fellow Charles Bennett, (developed Reversible Computation and Quantum Teleportation), on how weird physical phenomena discovered in the early 20th century have taught us the true nature of information, and how to process it: 39:30 minute mark: “Entanglement is ubiquitous: Almost every interaction between two systems creates entanglement between them… Most systems in nature… interact so strongly with the environment as to become entangled with it almost immediately.”… 44:00 minute mark: “A classical communications channel is a quantum communication channel with an eavesdropper (maybe only the environment)… A classical computer is a quantum computer handicapped by having eavesdroppers on all its wires.” See also: Data basic: An introduction to information theory

Philip Cunningham: Everything is information

He writes, “Information is Physical (but not how Rolf Landauer meant)” and offers the documentary evidence supporting the embedded vid below here.

Researchers: If we treat these two particles as described by a single quantum state, we learn that the original uncertainty principle ceases to apply, especially if these particles are entangled. and Book: Computer simulations yield very minor results for Darwinian evolution

Harvard Astronomer: The wonders of the universe point to a creator

From Catholic News Agency: "She also said that belief in God, far from being an impediment to scientific inquiry, actually can be helpful for scientists because of the “sure foundation” that belief in a Creator provides. Öberg herself is a convert from atheism." Read More ›

Tufts biologist asks, where is anatomy coded in living systems?

Michael Levin: The idea is that there is supposed to be emergence (of anatomy), and that kind of emergent complexity, but this idea that things are working towards a goal, as any navigational system fundamentally does, is not something that is very comfortable, certainly for molecular biology.

Darwin’s tree of life is just… ground cover?

"Charles Darwin himself predicted that countless intermediate animal forms must exist within the fossil record, given that organisms gradually evolved from one species into the next. However, what the fossil record actually shows is the exact opposite, namely, that whenever new species appear, they do so suddenly and without evidence of precursory forms in the geological record."
