So take one RAM stick and another, with the exact same physical makeup (I know this is impossible, but for argument's sake). Now I put some information on the one, and random noise on the other. Both will have different mass, right (because there are different amounts of electrons in the capacitors of both)? Now I put valuable information on one, and I charge all capacitors of the other (so the second one has very information density, because it can be 'compressed' trivially by saying '4GB of high bits'). The second one will be 'heavier' than the first, right? And then I copy something over that second one. It's not like there is a 'transfer' of mass from the other medium to the RAM stack, because there is a net outflow of electrons, right?
