Since the time of Boltzmann information about physical objects has been important in some areas of physics, specifically in thermodynamics.

First published as Physics from Fisher Information in 1999, Roy Frieden has been claiming that observable physics (collapse of the wave function) can be described as the loss of Fisher Information.[1]

Despite the above in 2010 Kevin Knuth declared " Information physics, which is based on understanding the ways in which we both quantify and process information about the world around us, is a fundamentally new approach to science."[2]
