I will check the references; but, my problem with the concept is in the
definition of a bit of information. A bit could be constituted by either
an endothermic or an exothermic action depending on the method of storage.
Let us not be information racists. Zero is datum also. :)

I would note that the magnetocaloric effect seems to embody the same effect.
Where the order and disorder of the magnetic domains is changed by
magnetization, that is erasing data right?!
So it is I guess a pretty robust effect as it is used to cool things
already.

I'd never heard of that either, but a moment of Googling bought up these as
the first 2 results:

I think this comes from Landauer's principle but I do not have a citation

It's really not long. The presentation is the first half hour and the last
is the Q&A session. It's all based on the Casimir effect.
I would be interested on more on the claim he made about increased heat in

For anyone who loves science, the new McCulloch lecture on YT is one of the
great unappreciated finds of all time !
Yes, it is long and yes he is not a great presenter ... BUT ... the content
here is astounding. And it is fairly terse, given the breadth of the subject
matter. McCulloch was brou
