Sure, everything that exists can be called a component of the universe, but 
it doesn't automatically mean that there are existing certain components 
that cannot be made from energy.

How about arrangements of energy?  They can be created and destroyed, yet 
are still just energy in the end.

There's an important difference to what I said and you claimed I said.

Birds are animals, but "bird" has a different meaning to "animal".
Cars could be considered "information", but a "car" is different to 
"information".
Cars are made from atoms, but a car is most certainly different to an atom.

My point is that information is just specific patterns of energy. I know 
"energy" and "information" have different meanings and refer to different 
things, but that doesn't mean information must be made up of something other 
than energy.
