Are changes in the frequencies of vibrating strings the cause of entropy? Does entropy also count in the case of changes in the frequency of vibrating strings?

sirchasm said:When is informational entropy equal to thermodynamic entropy? What dimensions does information have?
sirchasm said:Well, thermodynamic entropy is equivalent to Shannon entropy, when you set k to 1.
Then heat has the same units as information, then heat = information in (0,1) basis.
String theory is a theoretical framework that aims to reconcile quantum mechanics and general relativity by describing all fundamental particles as tiny vibrating strings. It suggests that the universe is made up of these strings rather than point-like particles.
Entropy is a measure of the disorder or randomness in a system. In physics, it is often associated with the second law of thermodynamics, which states that the total entropy of a closed system will always increase over time.
In string theory, entropy is associated with the number of different ways that strings can vibrate, and thus the number of possible states of the universe. It is thought that string theory may help explain the origin of entropy and the second law of thermodynamics.
The black hole information paradox is a problem in physics that arises when trying to reconcile the laws of quantum mechanics with the existence of black holes. Entropy plays a crucial role in this paradox, as it is thought that the information about particles that fall into a black hole is preserved in the form of the black hole's entropy.
At this time, there is no direct experimental evidence for string theory and its predictions about entropy. However, many physicists believe that it is a promising theory that may one day be supported by experimental data. Currently, string theory and entropy are still areas of active research and debate in the scientific community.
