WHat is the relationship between physical entropy and informational
entropy. Can someone please answer this question (over mail or netnews)
In connection with the following kinds of questions:

a) Is it possible (eg) to store the physical entropy change in a memory
chip in form of informational entropy in the chip itself ? If that 
can happen, is it a violation of the second law ?

b) Does the entropy of the Universe change with the discovery of a 
   major Physical Law (or should I say a refinement of a Scientfic
   Theory which is invalidable in more situations, a la Carl Popper)

I have been trying to answer these questions, and I find I do not
have the mathematical sophistication to read some of the texts on the
subject.  Would some kind soul take pity on me and explain known
answers to me in Layman's terms ???

Yours in Curiosity,
