@tr.mwambi: Claude Shannon changed how we think about information in 1948. His insight was that information depends on uncertainty.A fair coin carries 1 bit of entropy because either outcome is equally likely. A coin that always lands heads carries 0 bits because nothing is uncertain.Shannon entropy, H(X) = −Σ p(x) log₂ p(x), measures the average information needed to identify an outcome.The more predictable the result, the less information you gain from knowing it.#physics #foryou #fyp

The more predictable the result, the less information you gain from knowing it.
