Re:Is information the fifth state of matter?

A third time:
1. We've had hard drives within a tenth of a degree of kelvin, and the effect you're asserting did not occur
2. You're offering no explanation for what would actually cause this
3. The weight of a random superconductor is an irrelevant detail added for fake technical acumen
We have had these devices at these temperatures, and the thing you're talking about did not occur.
Until you can say why it would, there is no reason to take this seriously.
We've already done this. Your speculation is invalidated by experience and data.
For the vast majority of materials (of any size), strange things do happen when you hit the critical temperature. You can take any amount of mercury for example and when it hits 4.1 K it loses all its electrical resistance.
Hard drives are not the only items that can contain information.
