Abstract

The descriptions of the development of events in nature from the moment of the Big Bang are using concepts of ‘energy’ and ‘matter’. Systemically, these descriptions lack the third component of every system – information. This brings up the question of where in these descriptions information is and does it possibly precede energy. The analysis used the general systems theory, one of the powerful methods in modern science. For the description of the general technology (natural and artificial technology), from the Big Bang to the final point (a state of complete rest), we used our own concept based on two thoughts: the technology is nothing special but quite general (O. Spengler) and the fractal concept of Nature (M. Deege). It was found that the descriptions lack the answers to the question of the origin of information system whose activity began with the Big Bang. That information input is divided into command and data. With the help of philosophical knowledge, including Plato, Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas, it was concluded that someone had to make the natural laws that are transmitted in the form of information into energy during the Big Bang before inflation and the creation of matter. The question of who ordered the construction of the laws of nature and started the Big Bang is especially important. This article does not state explicitly who gave the order for the making and who made the transmitted information.
