The Snark is beyond entropy,...Too much information! The Snark is beyond entropy, beyond good and evil … the Snark is an infinite boojum whose circumference is infinite and whose center is everywhere. Right now the Snark is centered on an Assamese woman eating a chocolate truffle … tomorrow?

Gilbert Newton Lewis came up with that brief explanation already in 1930 (before Claude Shannon introduced entropy to information theory) besides discovering those photons which today help to enjoy Snark illustrations.Goetzhttp://www.poorcity.richcity.org/noreply@blogger.com
