Chapter 10, Problem 104AE
Human DNA contains almost twice as much informationas is needed to code for all the substances producedin the body. Likewise, the digital data sent from Voyager2 contain one redundant bit out of every two bits of information.The Hubble space telescope transmits threeredundant bits for every bit of information. How is entropyrelated to the transmission of information? Whatdo you think is accomplished by having so many redundantbits of information in both DNA and the spaceprobes?
