I don’t know much about physics. What do they mean about information and why is losing it such a big deal?

From the look at both of them, Susskind must have won the duel.

What do they mean about information and why is losing it such a big deal? It's a math thing. Information does not relate to any physical quantity.

I think they mean that “a mind is a terrible thing to waste.”

I read Hawking’s book “A Brief History of Time” about 15 years ago. Although I have a Ph.D., I probably understood half of what he wrote. However, he made a scientific case for the existence of God (or Intelligent Design if you prefer) that has had a longer lasting impression on me than anything else I have read, including CS Lewis.

“Hawking, a world-renowned theoretical physicist, is the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge.”
Lucasian Professor? If this chair is funded by Lucas (The Prince of Darkness..) I am going to have to rethink my feelings about Hawkings. Could be nothing there...or something there sometimes but not always...or Hawkings disappears when the humidity exceeds 85%.
