You might be interested in the writings of Gerald Scroeder who was trained at MIT and now works at the U of Jerusalem and speaks and writes at great length on this subject. He is certainly more current than Wheeler.
He goes into string theory with the idea that each string is really, at its most basic, information. Here is his web site. http://www.geraldschroeder.com/ Everybody is entitled to my opinion.

It helps to have some actual working physicists post on the topic even if you disagree with the It from Bit concept. Boy have I got you buffaloed. I have just the most basic grasp on the concepts and zero knowledge of the math. Actually Schroeder's book is very readable with a very basic understanding of the principles.

randman writes: By the way, I enjoyed thinking of Barbour's thesis immensely. My own take is that space and time are not absolute qualities of existence but relative aspects of existence. Actually Barbour's theories and Scroeder's ideas come at things from totally different perspectives but are at the same time compatible. The comment that really got me thinking was Don Page's comment on Barbour's work, when he said that eventually we will not only find that time is illusionary but so is space. Where do you go from there? I've read a number of your thoughts and you really should read "The Hidden Face of God" by Schroeder. The book is on this very topic and covers it from the point of view of the biologist, the cosmologist and the theologist. (He's Jewish which I guess is pretty obvious.) By the way, congratulations on your recent promotion. Will you be joining the admin union? Everybody is entitled to my opinion.
