Thanks so much for taking your time anorlunda! You've given me very valuable input and pushed me into the right direction, I had a some interesting insights into my pet system. Professor Susskinds lessons will be next.

Thanks anorlunda! Although I knew about information theory, you made me realize that I still mix up entropy as a measure of disorder with entropy as it is used in information theory. I guess, after all, what I'm trying to gasp is the following: How would one describe a system S in terms of...

Thanks for your reply anorlunda! I realize I need the rephrase my question: Lets assume we have a closed information system s that contains one information, let's say a sequence {A,B,C}. It is made of information bits, let's call them mBits. They are the smallest bit of information possible...

Imagine a maximum entropy information system: This system would hold meaningful information, not just random noise, but still be of maximum possible entropy in the sense that you could randomly change the order of the smallest bits of information in it without actually changing the overall...

@Dave Thanks for joining the discussion :-) Just to make sure, are you referring to to the first part "peephole ... space and time" or the second part "... otherwise beyond our perception" Thanks, Jiri

Thanks for the suggestion, I like it. There's actually already a very similar sentence:

@Drakkith Now I understand your argument. Basically you saying I'm over-interpreting it. But isn't that my job as an artist/photographer, after all we need to give our work some special meaning otherwise we produce only ... pictures. :biggrin: Back to more serious discussion ... You are...

@UltrafastPED Thanks for the link. If I understand it correctly, with streak cameras a beam is projected onto a line over time, right?

@Drakkith Would you mind to elaborate your argument? I would be genuinely interested in a strict physical point of view on this. And of course I want to avoid to spread pseudo-scientific bla bla... If it's correct that LPP projects a 2d-space and time on the resulting picture, isn't the...

@Andy Thanks for pointing that out, did not know about this particular technique. Another similar technique is scanning light photography Slit scanning is one of my favorite photography techniques. The problem with slit scanning though is it's relative complex recording process. You...

Hi Drakkith Thanks for your reply! My argument here is that you end up with different parts of the image being exposed at different times, unlike a classic photograph (under most circumstances). So the time dimension kinda gets projected on the image. And with that, having two dimensions and...

Dear Forum I'm an experimental photographer. During the last two years I've been developing a technique which I call light plane photography (LPP). LPP is a photographic technique that uses a plane of light and a camera to record photographs with unique optical effects. Here's three...
