For example, when you bring the Uncertainty Principle to bear on the two-part experiment, it turns out that you really can't get away with the trick, because the uncertainties in the original measurement will always make the second measurement more difficult to make accurately. This gives us a much cleaner way of explaining the Big Bang. But think of it solely in terms of information. Take all the mass in the universe and concentrate it in a single point. We like to think of gradients in assessing physical behavior.
Energy flows down a gradient.
The information structure of the universe does indeed evolve as the universe expands. Think of a star not as a body of matter but as an expanding sphere of light with a massy core. This new system maintains constant information content. Le Chatlier's Principle may be more fundamental than we ever imagined.
