I did wonder once if, since the holographic principle implies that the information in a universe is proportional to the surface area of the Hubble
sphere, could it be that the information in the *multiverse* is

(Although I guess the multiverse probably contains way more info than
that...)


Rather less, I would expect, for the reasons outlined in "Theory of Nothing..."

Yes rather less. It is the basic idea that taking everything is conceptually more simple than choosing anything among the everything. It is the main motivation for this list. Well, easier conceptually, but technically, this is only true up to be able to justify the white rabbits away, of course. I understand "nothing" only at that conceptual meta-level of 0-information theory, although it is more few- bits-information theory.
