The solution of the Monty Hall problem hinges on the concept of information, and more specifically, on the relationship between added information and probability.

If quantum communication and quantum computation are to flourish, a new information theory will have to be developed.

An electron is real; a probability is not.

The switch from 'steam engines' to 'heat engines' signals the transition from engineering practice to theoretical science.

In order to understand information, we must define it; bit in order to define it, we must first understand it. Where to start?
