====Digital physics====
The objections of Davies and Gribbin are shared by proponents of [[digital physics]], who view information rather than matter as fundamental. The physicist and proponent of digital physics [[John Archibald Wheeler]] wrote, "all matter and all things physical are information-theoretic in origin and this is a participatory universe."<ref>[[Wojciech H. Zurek|Zurek, Wojciech H.]], ed. 1990. "Information, Physics, Quantum: The Search for Links." In ''Complexity, Entropy and the Physics of Information''.</ref> Some founders of quantum theory, such as [[Max Planck]], shared their objections. He wrote:

{{blockquote|text=As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear headed science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research about atoms this much: There is no matter as such. All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent Mind. This Mind is the matrix of all matter.|author=Max Planck|source=''Das Wesen der Materie'' (1944)}}

[[James Jeans]] concurred with Planck, saying, "The Universe begins to look more like a great thought than like a great machine. Mind no longer appears to be an accidental intruder into the realm of matter."<ref>Jeans, James. 1937. ''[[The Mysterious Universe]]''. p. 137.</ref>
