Description

The Information Theory exam, is the only exam of the entire Electric Engineering curriculum that I had to retake, because I initially failed. My second attempt was flawless. So I do understand his mathematical theory about information; thank you very much Claude E. Shannon!

In 1948 he was the first to mathematically define the unit of information: the 0 and the 1, the "bit"! It is something that now seems so utterly obvious to us, that we tend to forget that someone had to discover or "invent" it. I am convinced that we have not yet seen and understood the significance of his discovery to its full extend. The concept of information will lead to far-reaching unification towards the "theory of everything". Shannon will be bigger than Einstein!

This is the third in a series of three vintage posters, which I made in 2021.
