The Information Nature of Evolution and World Exploration: Conceptual Hypothesis

Resumo

A hypothesis is developed about the information nature of evolution and human exploration of the world, based on the idea of a relationship between evolution and information (as a universal property of matter) and the priority of information over matter and energy. Among other methods, the so-called inversion approach is applied, which involves a restructuring of the usual, even generally accepted relationships, order, etc., as shown by the examples of the relationship between the concept of information and a series of other fundamental concepts and problems. This relationship is interpreted in such a way that information, as well as forms of its accumulation and movement, acquires the priority in these processes, which determines the processes of expansion in the various spheres of evolution of matter and social activity; even the Big Bang and the expansion of the Universe may be interpreted as an information explosion, since the accumulation and movement of information, as well as self-organization and evolutionary processes, are only possible in an expanding universe.
