John Wheeler

John Wheeler was a prominent physicist known for his work in relativity, quantum mechanics, and the philosophy of physics. He contributed significantly to understanding electromagnetism and general relativity, coining concepts like "black holes" and "wormholes." Wheeler's ideas often blurred the lines between physics and philosophy, emphasizing that observer and measurement play crucial roles in understanding reality. He famously stated, "It from bit," suggesting that information is fundamental to the fabric of the universe, highlighting the interconnectedness of all physical phenomena. His work has profoundly influenced both theoretical physics and our understanding of the universe’s nature.
