very simple. Do the photons bouncing from your surroundings get coded with information?Kurieuo wrote:Based on your definition photons then are a communication channel.Audie wrote:Seems to me you just answered a q with a q, and then made that my fault somehow.Kurieuo wrote:It seems to me that you're just plain avoiding now because you don't understand CSI.Audie wrote:Answering a q widda q isnt much of a discussion either.Kurieuo wrote:What feature of photons bouncing are specified?
You refuse to even budge one step in trying to understand, at least that is how it feels to me.
To answer your question, I need more details to know whether there is anything significant to the behaviour of photons bouncing.
A lesser question is whether there is any inherent "information content" to a photon bouncing?
Your question in order to be valid assumes that there is information to do with photons bouncing.
For example, it doesn't make sense to as what the colour of something is (e.g., morality) if such has no colour.
If I don't understand what morality is, then I might ask whether it has the property of a colour? What is wrong with that.
I really don't know whether "photons bouncing" have information content, so I seek further details from you.
What you're asking is like whether "this book" has CSI? Without knowing more details for all I know the book contains blank pages.
So the question can't be answered. Stop trying to be smart if you really want your question answered.
I need to know what information you are seeing in photons bouncing that makes your question valid?
I plead ignorance to the behaviour of photons.
For example, there is information to digital stuff in the form of binary.
There is information content on this board in the form of written language, structured ABCs and the like.
There is information content even in the form of shapes and structures.
There is information content in DNA in the form of chemical bases.
If there is no information content to a photon's bouncing, then it can't be specified.
On the other hand if it exhibits information, then it needs to be determined what form and then whether it is specified can be entertained.
It seems to me you dont know much about "information" specified or otherwise if you cant see whether a photon is coded with information when it bounces off something.
The photon question is extremely simple and straightforward. No in depth knowledge of photos required, at all. It was offered as an opportunity to think about what might be meant by coding, and information. Its a valid question regardless of what conditions you wish to try to impose on it.
Photons visiting your eye from the computer screen are coded with info about what is on the screen. Photos from distant galaxies tell us how fast they are moving away, among other things.
If you are familiar with CSI you might be able to say if that is "specified" if so why, if not why not.
If by "quit trying to be smart" you mean intelligent, no deal; if you mean like, quit being a smarty pants, that is a deep cheap shot, unworthy of you, and has no value other than to try to degrade me. Please specify your intent, clearly, for all.
Much like copper wires or fibre optics. They are not the information but convey to our eyes.
Just because photons allow me to read the words on this screen, doesn't mean that it is the information.
Therefore it isn't just not specified or complex, it is not information.
I'd encourage you to read those previous links, and if you know what CSI is, well then great.
It's not a concept to really argued against I'd think, if that be your intention... but I really can't tell with you sometimes Audie.
You're such a complicated person who I like to think I can predict, but really can't at times.
if not where zactly does the info about your room come from, how does it get to you?
