Tom "Ted" Stonier (29 April 1927 – 15 June 1999)[1] was a German biologist, philosopher, information theorist, educator and pacifist.
His scientific studies centered on information provide a plausible explanation to the evolutionist concepts of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin.
He drafts the principle of the transformation of a primordial energetic soup (big bang) towards a pure informational state (Chardin's Omega Point).
He places the current material world in this entropic, dynamical evolution of the energy-matter-information equilibrium.
Stonier was born in Hamburg to a French mother and German-Jewish father, and fled with his family to New York in 1939.
