they behave, and all of their properties,
give us information about them and
the physical forces behind them. Every
aspect of a particle can be expressed as
information, and put into binary code.
And so subatomic particles may be the
bits that the universe is processing, as a
giant supercomputer.”
The eminent physicist, John Wheeler,
elaborated on the way the whole thing
works. Wheeler claimed that the
universe operated in three parts: He said:
“Everything is Particles,” “Everything is
Fields,” and “Everything is information”
in that order and he was quite correct.
Quantum physics recognizes that
particles of matter come from the
quantum energy field or the quantum
wave. Wheeler is saying that in turn,
the quantum field itself is composed of
information and, therefore, information
is fundamental to reality in-forming
space, time, and matter. Wheeler used
the term, “ It from bit.” This means
that each sub-atomic particle is a bit of
information forming the appearance of
the creation and physical reality similar
to the way binary computer bits create
appearances on your screen.
Energy and Consciousness
Now think on a simple fact. When you
gaze upon a nighttime sky, you see
millions of stars. What you are seeing are exploring the outer edges of mysteries
photons (sub-atomic particles) of light
radiating from those stars registering

on the rods and cones of your eyes and
processed by your brain. So, it’s the
information inherent in those particles
that makes the experience of seeing
stars detectable to you. The reality is
that you’re seeing those stars as they
were hundreds of thousands of years
ago because that’s how long it takes
for their light energy to reach Earth.
Herein lies a hint that the transmission
of information-encoded light may be the
very basis of space and time.
Perception of any physical object
operates the same as seeing stars. It is
the photons of light energy emitted
from various objects in a particular
informational array that allows us to
perceive them as objects. Without light
energy, no physical reality could exist.
So, here is a key question. The
conveyance of information implies
transmission and reception, but who
is transmitting and who is receiving?
The receiving part is easy. We are the
receivers, but hold on, we may also be
transmitters too. Read on.
Physics and Metaphysics
The problem with science is that it limits
itself to what is observable and testable.
This is all well and good for everyday
applied applications. However, when
like the origins of life, the universe,
space, time, matter, and consciousness,
