For centuries, materialist science operated on a fundamental assumption: matter and energy are the primary substrates of reality, while information and consciousness are secondary byproducts. In this classical framework, physical atoms exist first, organize into complex biological structures, and eventually generate thoughts, code, and subjective experience. However, the mid-twentieth century revolution in information technology, combined with theoretical breakthroughs in quantum mechanics, flipped this ancient hierarchy on its head. Physicists and information theorists began asking a radical question: what if physical matter is not the primary building block of existence, but rather the visible output of an underlying informational processing system? By examining the convergence between Claude Shannon's Information Theory, John Archibald Wheeler's quantum informatics, and ancient spiritual creation narratives, we uncover a revolutionary synthesis: information is the fundamenta...
