Rolf Landauer showed that “information is physical” with every bit equivalent to a small amount of energy proportional to temperature. The Landauer equivalent energy of information carried, or represented by matter, effectively provides an information dark energy (IDE). Many objects in the universe, ranging in size from stars to galaxy clusters, have temperatures that vary in relation to the square root of the object mass.
