Shape is Physical
نویسنده
چکیده
In a simplified vision the universe is made by two main ingredients: atoms and bits. Within this paradigm the shape of things is just the content of information associated with each thing. In this paper we briefly discuss the role of information in defining shapes and specifically address the connection between information, entropy and energy, with the aim of showing that changing shape of a physical system is necessarily connected with a change in entropy and thus involves energy.
