## A bit suspicious 1: Why is this file called "The Second Law"? 0: Y'know... - The Second Law - Entropy - Information - Bits - 0 & 1 - Turing machines! 1: What? _(Narrator: 1 was not convinced.)_ 0: Turing's 1936 paper was the first time we see the idea of a machine that operates on binary numbers. 1: Can you explain that... I dunno... better? 0: Sure! - The Second Law (of thermodynamics is all about) - Entropy (which has the same mathematical form as) - Information (in Claude Shannon's information theory which is measured in) - Bits (namely) - 0 & 1 (which are the symbols used in the original paper about) - Turing machines! 1: That's a pretty tenuous chain of reasoning. 0: C'mon, that's a big moment for us! 1: _(Re-reading the bullets up above)_ 0: _(Trying to sound convincing)_ After all, we are 0 &--- 1: Is this a bible thing somehow? ## Dude they're onto me 0: What on earth would make you thi--- 1: Zero? 0: What? _(Narrator: 0 appeared to be hiding something.)_ 1: ... 0: Ok... ![[the-second-law.jpg]] 1: Have all these files been a bible reference? 0: _(Looking down and to the left)_ ... Maybe. 1: Damn how much effort did you put into sneaking that past me? 0: Not much. 1: Get to the Turing bit. 0: Ok so!... ## The Martyr
