[quote:Anonymous Coward 69727769:MV8zODYyMzY4XzY5NTUyMDkwX0Y4NkFDMzA2] [quote:Anonymous Coward 72058540:MV8zODYyMzY4XzY5NTUxODk0X0UzQTFGOTQ5] Psalms 8:1 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens. Psalms 113:4 The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens. Psalms 148:4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens. [/quote] Good old Akhenaten and his buddies would get up every morning, religiously, and greet the sun as it rose. Like having a Sunday 5am paper route every day. Sometimes you just want to sleep in! But no, not them. They would tip toe up the pyramid and treat every sunrise as if it were the greatest thing they ever saw. They probably did take a lot of naps tho. [/quote]
Original Message
"It from bit symbolises the idea that every item of the physical world has at bottom — at a very deep bottom, in most instances — an immaterial source and explanation; that what we call reality arises in the last analysis from the posing of yes-no questions and the registering of equipment-evoked responses; in short, that all things physical are information-theoretic in origin and this is a participatory universe."
John Archibald Wheeler - July 9, 1911 – April 13, 2008.
