YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A lot of physicists talk about "information" and just assume you'll figure out what it means by context... probably because they don't actually understand it. Hopefully, this video will fix all that! We'll talk about how physical information fixes a few relativity problems as well as how it relates to entropy and digital information.
