It was John Wheeler who first posed the question of whether physics can be based on information, or as he phrased it whether we can get It from Bit . Surprising though it may seem, many physicists are convinced that information could be the most fundamental entity, more basic than the material things that carry it. This notion, and arguments to the contrary, were the topics for the 2013 FQXi essay competition, whose revised and expanded winning entries form the content of this book. Seventeen essays addressing topics as diverse as quantum foundations, entropy conservation, nonlinear logic and countable spacetime 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.
