I learned at a young age, “information is neither created nor destroyed” (as I was a physics buff as I would watch Carl Sagan’s COSMOS and Nova with my grandmother as a little boy). I believed that this held true for all information of any kind. I still want to believe it. I begrudgingly accept that there is irretrievably lost knowledge that, without a time travel machine, can never return, but I still fight to maintain what information we have, whether it is my own personal memories or internet history (hence my interest in Internet Archive ) I still don’t want to accept the concept of information being destroyed, even though I intellectually know it is true.
