Hello Ioannis,

Nice essay. Particularly pleased to see a Greek entry as I have family in Athens. Also I was delighted you started with the mention of Plato. I have a theory that partly unifies the four forces of nature and resolves the three paradoxes of cosmogony - based on the only self dual Platonic solid - the tetrahedron.

I like that you ask so many sensible questions, and what you suggest about the Universe after time expires is logical too.

My essay explores Fibonacci and Black Holes as well as entropy, and some of the main points do not contradict your work, so hopefully you can take a look.

Thanks again for an interesting piece.

Best wishes,

Antony

Dear Ioannis,

We are at the end of this essay contest.

In conclusion, at the question to know if Information is more fundamental than Matter, there is a good reason to answer that Matter is made of an amazing mixture of eInfo and eEnergy, at the same time.

Matter is thus eInfo made with eEnergy rather than answer it is made with eEnergy and eInfo ; because eInfo is eEnergy, and the one does not go without the other one.

eEnergy and eInfo are the two basic Principles of the eUniverse. Nothing can exist if it is not eEnergy, and any object is eInfo, and therefore eEnergy.

And consequently our eReality is eInfo made with eEnergy. And the final verdict is : eReality is virtual, and virtuality is our fundamental eReality.

Good luck to the winners,

And see you soon, with good news on this topic, and the Theory of Everything.

Dear Ioannis,

Very original essay - it sends the right way of seeking truth. The very name of the essay is the key to understanding the nature of the information. Finally, you put the question: «Does there is a hope for us human beings to learn the truth about the lows governing the universe?» And gives the answer:

"... For the conception of the future of the universe and the new status which will occur after the end of the time, we need apart of the of the physical sciences, other methods of thinking which do not use matte, to approach the truth. "

Ratings «happy nine». I have three questions.

Constructive ways to the truth may be different. One of them said Alexander Zenkin in the article "Science counter-revolution in mathematics":

«The truth should be drawn with the help of the cognitive computer visualization technology and should be presented to" an unlimited circle "of spectators in the form of color-musical cognitive images of its immanent essence.»

In the russian version of a article: «The truth should be drawn and should be presented to" an unlimited circle "of spectators.»

Do you agree with Alexander Zenkin?

And the second question: How should the physics go to physical picture of the world was as rich in meaning as the picture of the world lyricists?

Maybe matter physicists should see the soul and memory?

One last question: How much value is the concept "Logos" - Λόγος in Greek?

    Dear Vladimir,

    I give you my brief replies to your questions:

    1 I agree completely with Alexander Zenkin. Truth can be - and should - be drawn to the wider possible audience. 2 Lyrics is a way of expression as valuable as any other (e.g. physical picture or even physical sciences). 3 I find the search of true logos "out of reach" for the present human community that is occupied in materialistic search and prosperity. This is the only reason that science seems more useful than philosophy in our days.

    Good luck, I.H.
