Maybe try looking into the topic instead of confidently repeating your wrong assertions? You're literally pulling a "my hand is not a number!" right now.

Just because you have a limited understanding of a unit, doesn't mean that unit is only applicable to what you know. Literally the star example I brought up.

I already did before I formed my conclusion. It’s clear you have not and are just looking for someone which whom to argue.

Goodbye.

Ah, so you just choose to ignore information you don't already know? What a rational thing to do. You're not anti-intellectual at all.

Or are you seriously trying to gaslight everyone into believing Shannon entropy doesn't exist?
