" amount of information in X ... "
Sorry, this is just not science in my opinion. Sure, a HD might contain 1TB.. but what about the positions of every atom in there every nanosecond? That would be a lot more information.
"Information" is context dependent. If that's your interest stick with Claude Shannon and avoid Hawking / Berkenstein.

Yeah, I think you moved it while I was replying.

The most stunning advancement in Physics since Quantum Mechanics is the Holographic Principle.
The Holographic Principle states that no three-dimensional space can contain more information than that which can be expressed on it's boundary. Similar to a hologram. Imagine it thus; when looking out your window, everything you see is filtered through your window. This window is like an imaginary outer boundary to everything in the universe visible from your window. But the Holographic Principle operates like x-ray vision. Every bit of information possible is expressible on the boundary.
My question to you then is, what you think the implications of the Holographic Principle are. To me they are both strange and confusing. I'm particularly interested in gravity and the curvature of space. Since energy itself warps space, it would seem that the energy exists locally to that space. On the other hand, it has interesting implications regarding quantum entanglement which I have only glossed over so far.
Another proposal; the Schwartzchild radius is directly proportional to the amount of information contained in a black hole. This seems obvious at first, since it's proportional to the mass of the black hole. What I am proposing though is that the Schwartzchild radius is in fact physical proof of the Holographic Principle.

Actually, the information (entropy) contained in a black hole is proportional to its surface area, as was discovered by Bekenstein. Area goes as radius squared, so the radius of a Schwartzchild black hole is actually proportional to the square root of its information content.
