“…The Landauer Principle, suggesting the thermodynamic equivalent of information, attracted an essential interest of researchers in the last decade [1][2][3][4][5]. In its strictest, tightest, and simplest meaning, the Landauer principle states that the erasure of one bit of information requires a minimum energy cost equal to 2, where T is the temperature of a thermal reservoir used in the process and is Boltzmann's constant [6][7].…”

The informational re-interpretation of the basic laws of the mechanics exploiting the Landauer principle is suggested. When a physical body is in rest or it moves rectilinearly with the constant speed, zero information is transferred; thus, the informational affinity of the rest state and the rectilinear motion with a constant speed is established. The analysis of the minimal Szilard thermal engine as seen from the non-inertial frame of references is carried out. The Szilard single-particle minimal thermal engine undergoes the isobaric expansion relatively to the accelerated frame of references, enabling the erasure of 1 bit of information. The energy ΔQ spent by the inertial force for the erasure of 1 bit of information is estimated as: ΔQ≅5/3 k_B T ̅, which is larger than the Landauer bound but qualitatively close to it. The informational interpretation of the equivalence principle is proposed: the informational content of the inertial and gravitational masses is the same.

“…Bhatti and his collaborators [57,58] examined some characteristics of collapsing spheres and explored the corresponding IED factors in modified gravity. Herrera et al [59] and Herrera [60] evaluated transport equations for the spherically symmetric matter distributions which undergoes in the collapsing state as seen by a tilted observer. Yousaf et al [61] modified these results and looked into the effects of Palatini f (R) terms in the rate of gravitational collapse.…”

This work is devoted to explore the effects of f (G, T ) terms on the study of structure scalars and their influences in the formulations of the Raychaudhuri, shear and Weyl scalar equations. For this purpose, we have assumed non-static spherically symmetric geometry coupled with shearing viscous locally anisotropic dissipative matter content. We have developed relations among the Misner-Sharp mass, Weyl scalar, matter and structure variables. We have also formulated set of f (G, T ) structure scalars after orthogonally breaking down of the Riemann curvature tensor. The influences of these scalar functions in the modeling of relativistic radiating spheres are also studied. The factor involved in the emergence of inhomogeneities is also explored for the constant and varying modified curvature corrections. We inferred that f (G, T ) structure scalars could lead provide an effective tool to study Penrose-Hawking singularity theorems and Newman-Penrose formalism.

“…As we shall see below, the answer to the above question is closely related to definition of entropy, which is highly observer dependent, as illustrated, for example, by the Gibbs paradox [32].…”

We discuss on different issues pertaining the theory of gravity, which pose some unresolved fundamental questions. First we tackle the problem of observers in general relativity, with particular emphasis in tilted observers. We explain why these observers may detect dissipative processes in systems which appear isentropic to comoving observers. Next we analyze the strange relationship between vorticity and radiation, and underline the potential observational consequences of such a link. Finally we summarize all the results that have been obtained so far on the physical properties of the sources of gravitational radiation. We conclude with a list of open questions which we believe deserve further attention. * On leave from UCV, Caracas, Venezuela,
