So if you make a irreversible change in information you make a change in a physical quantity (like heat), and if you make a irreversible change in a physical system (like rotating something in 3 dimensions) you change the information it encodes. What more would you need to be able to say that information is physical? John K Clark -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
