Quelques reflexions sur la conception du monde de Erwin Schrodinger

Some personal reflections are made about the philosophical posture of Erwin Schrodinger, as exposed in one of his book "Ma Conception du Monde". It is argued that the Taoist view of the world, as pursued by Schrodinger, although characterized by the dialectical struggle between opposite truths does not contain the temporal dimension, the unique which allows an evolving understanding of phenomena and objects that compose this world in constant evolution. In our point of view, only a genetic view - which is missing in the actual scientific paradigm - will bring a more deep explanation and understanding of Reality.

An information-theoretic formulation of Newton's second law

From the principle of maximum entropy for a closed system in thermal equilibrium, for the first instance a clear relation is shown to exist between total entropy S (in terms of arrangements of particles) and the classical expression for the force acting on a particle in a rotating frame. We determine relationships between arrangement of particles and force in the case of the gravitational and elastic forces.
