Even from this brief overview it should be clear that the notion of information plays a central role in our attempts to understand the world. From communication to the basis of genetics, from thermodynamics to quantum mechanics and up to quantum gravity, the notion of information is gaining ground as a tool for understanding. The world should not be understood as an amorphous ensemble of atoms – but rather as a game of mirrors, founded on the correlations between the structures formed by combinations of these atoms.
