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.
