Why is the conservation of information not taught alongside cons of energy

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the concept of "conservation of information," as articulated by Leonard Susskind in relation to the Hawking paradox. Participants express concern that this important principle is overshadowed by its appropriation by the Intelligent Design community, which detracts from its scientific significance. The lack of comprehensive resources and discussions on this topic contributes to its underrepresentation in educational contexts.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Hawking paradox
  • Familiarity with Leonard Susskind's contributions to theoretical physics
  • Knowledge of the Intelligent Design debate
  • Basic concepts of information theory
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Leonard Susskind's theories on information conservation
  • Explore the implications of the Hawking paradox in modern physics
  • Investigate the impact of Intelligent Design on scientific terminology
  • Study foundational principles of information theory and its applications
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, educators, students of theoretical physics, and anyone interested in the intersection of science and philosophy.

There seems to be a not very solid description of the concept of conservation of information on the Internet. Leonard suskind described the idea very well on discos program on the hawking paradox but this is the only place I have seen it described well. Any thoughts why cons of information isn't considered an important law to teach?

Proobably because the term "conservation of information" has been hijacked by the Intelligent Design community.

How. What do they use the term for?
