As far as I know, net information content in the universe is constant. How about this:
A child draws a simple skeleton of a house connected to another house with a pipe and draws a similar pair of houses right next to them with a fallen tree between the two houses. The second pair of houses has an antenna on the external face of the right house.
This drawing is supposed to represent a neighbourhood or a street, but when a chemist looks at the drawing, he sees an organic reaction with two closed 5 membered rings (bond line representation), where the tree represents the arrow.
Nothing has been added to the drawing, but it represents a neighbourhood and an organic reaction at the same time. The information has increased without anything being added to the original drawing. Isnt this an information paradox?
