Evolution of Information and Complexity in an Ever-Expanding Universe

Using the usual definitions of information and entropy in quantum gravity and statistical mechanics and the existing views about the relation between information and complexity, we examine the evolution of complexity in an ever expanding universe.

An Expanding Trapezium Cluster?

Simulations with Aarseth's (1994) NBODY5 code are presented of an initially dense binary-rich cluster. It is assumed that the star formation efficiency is 50 per cent with instantaneous mass loss. The model central density and velocity dispersion agree with the observational constraints if expansion is only about 6 × 10 4 yr old. Additionally, the observed binary proportion constrains the primo...
