This video is adapted from 10.3390/e24111636

Information is a very general concept. We all know what information means, yet its formal definition eludes us. We know that Information can either be true or false, and it can be important or irrelevant. Information might be redundant, ambiguous, or meaningless, or it can be objective or highly subjective. On top of these, some information can be measured.
