Abstract

Alice and Bob have a nice chat about Wheeler's dream. They interchange their bird's-eye view of the topic and analyze the rudiments behind scientific proposals. From their discussion one can conclude that the problem may be a matter of semantics. Although they both agree that the it-from-bit approach may be useful to dissolve the crisis in physics. After discussing several roads to reality, Bob considers that it is worthy returning to the old way of doing physics in which intuition and "common sense" used to go along with the mathematical description of reality. Bob thinks that if physics wishes to maintain its high reputation among the sciences and the public, scientific proposals should not only explain the experimental observations but also be credible in accordance with "common sense". He then brings an example of these kind of proposals in which the "it" remains fundamental.
