, suggesting there's at least something to the fundamental amount of energy associated with information change.If we also take Einstein's reckoning into mind, as Vopson does, that fundamental change in energy should equate to a change in mass, meaning all of the information we create each and every day contributes a tiny but non-zero amount of mass to the planet.

In fact, in 350 years, some experts predict the weight of our digital bits could outweigh all the atoms on Earth. If we presume an electron's total mass is made up of its intrinsic resting energy and a tiny bit of information about itself, it would theoretically emit a predictable spectrum of energy in the spray of photons released on meeting its antimatter counterpart, the positron.
