Notice how, each time, he avoids addressing the simple matter of whether you can put information in a bottle by itself and detect it.
The first few times he failed to grasp the point could have been ignorance. Now, though, he's just actively avoiding addressing the point by feigning stupidity.
Information by itself makes exactly zero sense. It's meaningless.
Tiassa is right about James R's posting style. It's fallacious. He invents nonexistent problems to trip up the unwary. He does it on purpose because that is all he has. He doesn't seem to, or maybe it's an act, understand very much at all about the physical world. He asks "what does physical mean?", then attacks whatever you say about that word. He's a troll.
The argument he makes is conclusory: since information does not exist by itself, that means you can't put it in a bottle by itself. Since James R doesn't know what he's talking about, you can't put anything he says in a bottle.
The simple matter isn't simple at all. Perhaps James R needs a brain transplant.
Oooh, look at that, I'm trolling! I'm copying James R, head troll at sciformorons.
A comment about this site, if anyone here cares.
James R is a science shithead. He wants you and me to believe he knows things, things that science itself will shrug its shoulders about.
He knows what energy is, he knows all about information theory, he understands gauge theories.
But, he doesn't. He has a bunch of useless, meaningless ideas about physics that I don't want to go anywhere near. I want to put him on ignore. He probably wants to ban me.
As if that somehow will matter. This site is pretty dead though, don't you think? Moribund, I think is the appropriate term. I seriously doubt anything can save it from eventual obscurity. Other science sites aren't like this one, why is that?
Oh wait, I know that one--it's the people here.
