Quantum Information, the Ambiguity of the Past, and the Birth ... - PiTP

Problem: But can complexity ever really be destroyed? Even
after a destructive event like the Second World War, all the
preexisting information, along with its logical depth, is still
present in the Universe, though maybe escaped from the
Earth. Indeed the complex transformations leading to its
escape may have made the Universe even deeper than before,
though the Earth may be shallower. If depth can’t decrease, it
would appear a rather vacuous measure of value of
information.
Answer: The decrease in the Earth’s depth comports with our
feeling that something valuable was lost. But inquiring how
the Universe’s depth changes with time is too impatient a way
of thinking. From God’s viewpoint there is no time, nothing
ever happens, and Universe’s complexity doesn’t increase or
decrease.
