Theory of complexity
This might be a nice definition: Complexity concerns order, patterns, and structure which appear in complex, apparently chaotic systems. http://www.informationphilosopher.com/freedom/complexity.html

Theory of complexity
When you remove stone to form a statue...aren't you then removing mass/energy? Complexity can mean many things, I think it's difficult to make a definition. A painting can also be called to be complex. The structure can cause complexity and structure can reduce the concentration of mass/energy while increasing complexity. Look to the difference between graphite and diamond. They are both made of carbon but the inner structure causes the concentration of mass/energy to be higher in diamond. And you can call the crystal structure of graphite to be more complex then diamond.

Theory of complexity
I think I have a simple real-life example of this. A big piece of stone contains a lot of mass/energy. When you make a statue out of the piece of stone then you increase the complexity while decreasing mass/energy.

Today I Learned
Today I learned that Marie Skłodowska Curie was a smart lady. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, the first person and only woman to win twice, the only person to win a Nobel Prize in two different sciences, and was part of the Curie family legacy of five Nobel Prizes. Nobel Prize in Physics (1903, with Pierre) Nobel Prize in Chemistry (1911) Curie died in 1934, aged 66, at a sanatorium in Sancellemoz (Haute-Savoie), France, due to aplastic anemia brought on by exposure to radiation while carrying test tubes of radium in her pockets during research, and in the course of her work at field hospitals during World War I.

Today I learned the infinite monkey theorem It states that a monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter keyboard for an infinite amount of time will almost surely type a given text, such as the complete works of William Shakespeare. In fact the monkey would almost surely type every possible finite text an infinite number of times.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_monkey_theorem#Infinite_strings

Today I learned that late blight (Phytophthora) was a major culprit in the 1840s European, the 1845 Irish, and the 1846 Highland potato famines. In the end of september I often get phytophthora on my tomatoes in the greenhouse. The first visible Phytophtora-spots call the start of the end of the tomato season

Today I learned Mexico city is sinking! It's mostly built on a lake bed, filled with aquifers. They are draining the aquifers to drink and it causes the city to drop. It has sunk more then 9 meters in a 100 years!

Today I learned that most or many Greenland sharks are blind due to parasitic copepods living on their eyeballs. They are ectotherm and live in water that's about 2°C which explains why they move so slowly, they swim 1,22 km/h on average. The Greenland shark has the longest known lifespan of all vertebrate species. One shark was estimated to be a minimum of 272 years and a maximum of 512 years. And they probably reach sexual maturity at 150 years.

I just learned Stephen Hawking may win a Nobel Prize if they find evidence for soft hairs on Black Holes. Here is the paper he wrote: https://arxiv.org/abs/1601.00921

I found the audiobook about "Black Hole War: My Battle with Stephen Hawking to Make the World Safe for Quantum Mechanics " It's pretty long https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=by52XfhRzuI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0rv4Bh5MPE

We are pretty lucky Jesus was nailed to a cross. If they 'killed' him by drowning, people would hang a little aquarium instead of a cross.
