A Look at the Uncertainty of Measuring The Fundamental Constants and the Maxwell Demon from the Perspective of the Information Approach

Abstract

This paper proposes a new framework for calculating the discrepancy of a model and the observed technological process or physical phenomenon. It offers powerful tools for all measurement methods applied in technology, engineering and experimental physics. Since the studies that validate and verificate the models of the phenomenon are still complex, they need to be combined into one total measure. Existing methods used in almost all literature up to the present time implicitly suggest that the use of supercomputers and the latest mathematical statistical methods allows achieving high accuracy very close to the boundaries of Heisenberg principle. To compare methodologies for improving models, we propose a new metric called comparative uncertainty. This allows us to prove that there is a limit to the achievable discrepancy between the model and the object under study.
