Such a statement is totally ignorant of the latest theories of theoretical
physics where information is not only physical (and therefore can be a
property as can be other physical quantities), but also that information
is more fundamental to physical reality than energy or matter. An article
in the August 2003 issue of Scientific American, near the end, has the
following statement:
.. that such a final theory [of physical reality] must be
concerned not with fields, not even with spacetime, but rather
with information exchange among physical processes.
from "Information in the holographic universe" by Jacob Bekenstein.
