Beam me up, Scotty

This is the coolest scientific article I've read in months, sent along by one of our BlueNC community members.

There is a growing sense that the properties of the universe are best described not by the laws that govern matter but by the laws that govern information. This appears to be true for the quantum world, is certainly true for special relativity, and is currently being explored for general relativity. Having a way to handle energy on the same footing may help to draw these diverse strands together.

Pay special attention to the comments. Good stuff all around.
