So if there's something that's an it, physical object like this cup or this table, that if you just keep looking down, you have a microscope that just keeps going down, he goes, in the end, the only thing you find are particles that

But what the heck are particles?

He said, well, the only thing that particles really are is a series of answers to yes, no questions.

So it's like, does the particle spin up?

Does it spin down?

It's got like, you know, various different polarities and things.

But so he said, in the end, the only thing you have are bits of information because that's a bit, right?

Every single decision is a bit, yes or no, one or zero.

That's like the fundamental unit of computation.

And that's how we, you know, like I said, stream video, everything else.

And so he said, everything that's an it,

is actually from bits of information.

And there's a whole new kind of field within physics which is called digital physics.

In the past, physics was about physical objects moving around.

Digital physics is about information.

What happens to information in the universe?

Does it get destroyed in a black hole?

Does it get created?

Instead of conservation of momentum and conservation of energy, you have conservation of information.

It's like a different way of looking at the physical world.
