Abstract

In his famous 1989 It from Bit essay, John Wheeler contends that the stuff of the physical universe, or it, arises from information or bits, encoded in yes or no answers. Wheeler's question and assumptions are reexamined from a post Aspect experiment perspective. Information is examined and discussed in terms of classical information and quantum entanglement, or non local state sharing. An argument is made that the universe may arise from or together with quantum entanglement but not via classical yes and no information sharing.
