discussing
the problem
whether
information
is any
meaningful
data
or
meaningful data
must
have
additional
properties
to be information.
 
 

the Greek
philosophers

Leucippus
(fl. 445 B.C.)
and
Democritus
(460-360 B.C.)

suggested that
all material bodies

consist of
small particles,
which were called
atoms.
 
 
 

“In reality,”
said Democritus,

“there are only
atoms and the
void."
 
 
 
 

the question is
whether
this idea
contains
genuine or
false
information.
