“The amount of energy in a closed system remains equal.”
This statement is true. But if this is really true our universe will loose all it’s active energy someday.
Why? (But is our system really a closed system?)
We can observe a loss of information in a chemical reaction like burning of fuel. The fuel by itself has a higher order as the burned product H2O and CO2. And it’s not possible to revert the process without adding to it more information / energy.
“Substanz ist Form. Spezieller: Materie ist Form. Bewegung ist Form. Masse ist Information. Energie ist Information” (Weizsäcker 1974, S. 361)
(Substance is form. In detail: Matter is form. Movement is form. Mass is information. Energy is information)
So what then is information?
“Information ist wiedererkennbare Wahrheit, und zwar nach einem bestimmten Verfahren, auf das man sich einigen kann, wiedererkennbar übertragene Wahrheit.” (Weizsäcker 1973, S. 13)
(Information is recognizable truth, indeed through a norm convention, recognizable truth.)
Energy / Information is something that flows. Truth is something that we can recognize. The scope of energy / information is to communicate this truth.
What is the truth?
The source of all energy and information is God:
“But will God indeed dwell with mankind on the earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain You;”
2 Chronicles 6:18
