Toward the essence of information

I will always remember a special day when i was dining at the university student's residence of Ciudad Vieja in Guatemala, Central America. To the same table I was sharing with others came a catholic priest who also was a philosophy professor. The conversation started immediately and the priest told us about a new crazy man, this time coming from the information and systems field, who was asserting that every thing that exists in the universe could be reduced to matter, energy and information.
