Tiny black holes left over from the Big Bang may be prime dark matter suspects

OK, OK. How about a gently suggestive note? Maybe a nice floral design?

I'm thinking a Change.org petition.

Information is insight based on an organization of some select/filtered data. The rest of infinite data is irrelevant and easily understood as noise or anti-information.
Insight is a tool of a mind. Insight is not existential.
Information/insight is of necessity local/finite.

Further Godel proved the universe can not be closed because it has a self referencing element,
namely us.

lol.

I think information is a product of life. And only used for life. And only used here.

A language only used between life.

No life......no info. And nothing for math to do.

lol.

Well, it is kind of laughable, but not really a "laughing matter".

The nomenclature adopted by various branches of science theorists frequently applies special, very specific definitions to words used every day by non-scientists, and often in ways that are conceptually conflicting between different theories. Add to that the click baiting headline writers, and non-scientists are getting bombarded with headlines in the popular media such as "Scientists prove that there is no reality!!!"

So, for instance, there are some theorists, who are trying to understand quantum level phenomena, that say that tiny systems are in multiple states at the same time, and do not collapse into one of those possible states until we "observe" the system. So, they are not "real" until they are observed. This is somewhat inconsistent with the idea that there is "information" about those states before they are collapsed. So, what is information? Is it human knowledge of those states? Or is it those states themselves, independent of whether we ever observe them on not?

There are various people using various inconsistent definitions arguing with each other on the Internet with apparent certainty that they are right and anybody who does not agree with them is wrong - either uneducated or plain stupid.

The fact is, so far at least, we all seem to be wrong in the way we think about some of these things. Because we can't make sense of what we observe without adding into our equations several "tuning" parameters that are not physically understood, but are necessary to get the numerical results to match our observations. And, that is true to a disturbing extent when we try to reconcile astronomy observations with quantum level physics experiments.

Not a single mention of a cosmologic model which though could validate and explain most of the leftover questions...
Janus model is never quoted, but instead of inventing new names for things which can't be found, maybe people should make the effort to read about it...
