Shannon's Law

• In information theory, Shannon's law is any statement defining the theoretical maximum rate at which error-free digits can be transmitted over a bandwidth-limited channel in the presence of noise. Shannon's law has applications in telecommunication. See Shannon-Hartley theorem.

• In Arizona, Shannon's law is a law that was established after the 1999 death of teenager Shannon Smith, to punish those who take gunshots to the air, risking the lives of others. See Shannon's law (Arizona).
