摘要

Broadly speaking, evidence is the information related to factum probandum (the facts to be proved). Claude Elwood Shannon, the founder of information theory, held that information is the elimination or reduction of uncertainty of objects (Shannon, Bell System Technical Journal 27:379–423, 1948: 379–423, 632–656). Eliminating or reducing the uncertainty of objects is the function of evidence science, which has universal significance for the pursuit of knowledge.
