Physicists connect quantum information with gravity: http://www.technologyreview.com/blog/arxiv/24975/Quote:Some physicists are convinced that the properties of information do not come from the behaviour of information carriers such as photons and electrons but the other way round. They think that information itself is the ghostly bedrock on which our universe is built.

Yes. I must admit that whenever something comes up that I have not heard of before, my first place to turn for information is wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erik_Verlinde

I like this theory of gravity better than the old one. Linking information/energy to gravity as a question of differences makes more logical sense to me. Gravity has always been a fly in the ointment of TOE, this at least opens the door to a better view of the universe.
