A single question animates this report: Can we ever expect to understand existence? (Wheeler, 'Information, Physics, Quantum’, 1989) July 1911 John A Wheeler and H Marshall McLuhan were both born in July 1911 -- Wheeler on the 9th, McLuhan twelve days later on the 21st. Wheeler became an extremely influential physicist, working with both Bohr in Copenhagen and Einstein in Princeton, and included two Nobel prize recipients among his students, Richard Feynman and Kip Thorne. Research building on his work continues in many areas to this day.
You may want to check out Cormac McCarthy’s last book, ‘Stella Maris.’ It deals with some of the same existential conundrums.
