This relation is primarily intriguing at the macroscopic level. And\u2026\u2026\u2026 are there any other forms of energy? Yes, consider that there is also energy that isn\u2019t stored in the complexity of mass, like the energy of photons. Photons possess no mass yet carry information. They cause change. But where does this lead to?<\/p>\n<p>E=h\u03bd \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0energy = Planck constant x frequency of electromagnetic radiation<\/p>\n<p>In units:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>E is expressed in Joules, J<\/li>\n<li>h is expressed in Joule x second, Js<\/li>\n<li>\u03bd represents frequency, Hertz, expressed in cycles per second, \/s<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To visualize this, you might think of the number of photons per second.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Energy as the sum of all potential change<br \/>\n<\/strong>When E is the sum of all potential changes, then h is the smallest leap (one cycle of a probability distribution?) in likelihood for linear change (electromagnetic radiation proceeds linearly). Such a smallest leap can be expressed in Planck length, the smallest leap in length, Planck time, the smallest leap in time, and the reduced Planck constant, \u0127, the smallest leap in probability for angular change. However, keep in mind that these are all units or concepts extrapolated from a macroscopic perspective &#8211; where time, space, and probability are measurable &#8211; to the quantum level. But how do they relate to each other? If we consider time, length and probability as emergent phenomena, there must be a common source from which they arise.<\/p>\n<p>There remains only one conclusion: information is that fundamental leap in time, length, and probability. From many coherent leaps of information, the phenomena of probability, time, space, mass, and all those other emergent phenomena subsequently arise. It&#8217;s not surprising that probability, h, and \u0127 also arise from information. Just remind yourself of the definition of information from information theory<em>:<\/em> <em>information is an event of which it was not certain beforehand whether it would occur.<\/em> And the variant of this definition necessary for superposition of more than two values: <em>information is an event of which it was not certain beforehand what it would be.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Superentropy<\/strong><br \/>\nIs information the source of everything? Or is something preceding that event even more fundamental? Is it the ultimate uncertainty of possessing more values at once? Perhaps it&#8217;s the combination of both. This brings us back to Heisenberg&#8217;s uncertainty as the (energy) source of everything. Let&#8217;s choose a term here that aptly describes the superposition of more values simultaneously, including the direction of the most probable development: superentropy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":875,"menu_order":16,"template":"","class_list":["post-972","book-2","type-book-2","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/superentropy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/book-2\/972","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/superentropy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/book-2"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/superentropy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/book-2"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/superentropy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/book-2\/972\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/superentropy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/book-2\/875"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/superentropy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=972"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
