Abstract
Millennia ago, mankind arrived at a fork in the road. It became essential to answer a foundational question about the space in our universe. Are the most fundamental units of geometry, objects of zero dimension (dimensionless points) or would they be objects of an infinitesimal magnitude (extended points, i.e. monads)? As directed by Plato, physicists have followed the Zero Point road as an act of faith. Drawing on cues from the Pythagoreans, Aristotle, Proclus, Leibniz, Newton and Wheeler himself, we embark on a trip along Monad road. We report our suspicion that Mother Nature may have been using monads secretly as the 'it' (hardware), and their variable lifetimes as the 'bit' (the information and the software) of a digital universe, without obtaining Plato's consent.
