商品描述

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.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書中的論文探討了物理學是否可以基於資訊,或者如約翰·惠勒所表述的,我們是否能夠從「位元」中獲得「它」。這些論文基於參加同名FQXi論文競賽的獲獎作品,該競賽共吸引了超過180篇參賽作品。

這十八篇貢獻涵蓋了量子基礎、熵守恆、非線性邏輯和可數時空等多樣主題。它們共同為所有對資訊在自然法則中可能角色感興趣的物理愛好者提供了引人入勝的閱讀體驗。

基礎問題研究所(Foundational Questions Institute, FQXi)促進、支持並傳播有關物理學和宇宙學基礎問題的研究,特別是那些對於深入理解現實至關重要的新前沿和創新理念,但不太可能獲得傳統資金來源支持的研究。
