“My greatest concern was what to call it. I thought of calling it â€˜informationâ€™, but the word was overly used, so I decided to call it â€˜uncertaintyâ€™. When I discussed it with John von Neumann, he had a better idea. Von Neumann told me, â€œYou should call it entropy, for two reasons. In the first place your uncertainty function has been used in statistical mechanics under that name, so it already has a name. In the second place, and more important, nobody knows what entropy really is, so in a debate you will always have the advantage.â€”
