[Fis] 20% of most important Informatics

[Prof. Dr. Thomas Görnitz]

Dear Fis,
Since 1974, international conferences have been held at two-year  
intervals on Lake Starnberg, dealing with the physical and  
philosophical implications of the role of the concept of information  
for understanding quantum reality, specifically on Weizsäcker's  
concept of the “Ur-Theory”, quantized binary alternatives.

In 1980, Weizsäcker also invited John A. Wheeler (1911- 2008) to the  
fourth conference on the Ur theory and its consequences. Wheeler spoke  
there (in reference to Alice in Wonderland?) about:
Wheeler JA (1981) "The elementary quantum act as higgledypiggledy  
building mechanism". In: Castell et al (ed.)
Quantum theory and the structures of time and space. Hanser, Munich, pp. 27-30

Ten years later, in 1990, Wheeler gave a lecture entitled "It from  
Bit", which is still very popular today. However, there was no  
reference to the existing research of Weizsäcker and his coworkers.

all good wishes
Thomas
