I mean, this is what people say when they look at quantum mechanics.

They say, make it make sense, right?

Because the cat should be alive or dead.

How can it be both, right?

And so when you think of information,

And you think of the simulation idea, the core of it is that the world is not physical.

This table seems pretty physical, right?

Right.

But if you go and you look inside, it's mostly empty space, something like 90-some percent, maybe 99%.

And then you go to the atoms.

And you look inside those and it's mostly empty space, right?

And there's these electron clouds and stuff.

But except for the nucleus, it's mostly empty space.

And the problem is like these Russian dolls, if you keep looking inside, they keep looking for this thing called physical matter.

And they can't find it.

Like it's not really there.

It's like you go to the very smallest of the Russian dolls.

And the only thing they can find is information, right?

And so John Wheeler, who I talked about earlier, he plays an outsized role in at least my explorations of simulation theory.

He came up with a phrase, and his phrase was, it from bit.
