It from bit. It__ an unorthodox theory, which starts with the assumption that information is at the root of all existence. When we look at the moon, a galaxy, or an atom, their essence, he claims, is in the information stored within them. But this information sprang into existence when the universe observed itself. He draws a circular diagram, representing the history of the universe. At the beginning of the universe, it sprang into being because it was observed. This means that __t_ (matter in the universe) sprang into existence when information (__it_) of the universe was observed. He calls this the __articipatory universe___he idea that the universe adapts to us in the same way that we adapt to the universe, that our very presence makes the universe possible.
