The essays in this book look at the question of whether physics can
be based on information, or – as John Wheeler phrased it –
whether we can get “It from Bit”. They are based on the
prize-winning essays submitted to the FQXi essay competition of the
same name, which drew over 180 entries. The eighteen contributions
address topics as diverse as quantum foundations, entropy
conservation, nonlinear logic and countable spacetime. Together
they provide stimulating reading for all physics aficionados
interested in the possible role(s) of information in the laws of
nature. The Foundational Questions Institute, FQXi, catalyzes,
supports, and disseminates research on questions at the foundations
of physics and cosmology, particularly new frontiers and innovative
ideas integral to a deep understanding of reality, but unlikely to
be supported by conventional funding sources.
