But it is exactly fields such as quantum information, which are shifting the boundaries of the physically possible, that make a foundational understanding of information increasingly important. One of the recurring themes of the book is the claim by Eddington and Wheeler that information involves interaction and putting agents or observers centre stage. Thus, physical reality, in their view, is shaped by the questions we choose to put to it and is built up from the information residing at its core. This is the root of Wheeler’s famous phrase “it from bit.” After reading the stimulating essays collected in this volume, readers will be in a good position to decide whether they agree with this view.. | 出版日期 | Book 2017 | 关键词 | Arthur Stanley Eddington; Epistemic vs; Ontic Interpretations; Foundations of Information; John Archiba | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-43760-6 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-82904-3 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-43760-6Series ISSN 1612-3018 Series E-ISSN 2197-6619 | issn_series | 1612-3018 | copyright | Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2017 |
