<i>In terms of the actual article, while black holes might account for most of the bits of information in the universe (I don't really understand the logic behind this)</i><p>If the universe were a computer simulation, every single atom (or higher-energy particle for that matter) would have to be included for the simulation to be able to run accurately, probably represented as objects of some kind with associated state. (lets just ignore possible optimizations, shall we? :P )<p>Every single one of these would consume resources, or bits if you like.<p>Where would you expect to find the biggest amounts and concentrations of objects and bits? On a planet which has so low gravitational mass that it can only wield its will upon a small moon or a black hole so massive that not even light can escape it?<p>Where would you expect to find the biggest amount changes and activity? At a small planet where normal laws of physics and energy reign supreme, or in a black hole where the energies are so immense that even space-time ceases to exist?<p>I'm putting my money on the black hole.
