Our World may be a giant Hologram

Our World may be a giant Hologram

The holograms you find on credit cards and banknotes are etched on two-dimensional plastic films. When light bounces off them, it recreates the appearance of a 3D image. In the 1990s physicists Leonard Susskind and Nobel prizewinner Gerard't Hooft suggested that the same principle might apply to the universe as a whole. Our everyday experience might itself be a holographic projection of physical processes that take place on a distant, 2D surface.

The "holographic principle" challenges our sensibilities. It seems hard to believe that you woke up, brushed your teeth and are reading this article because of something happening on the boundary of the universe. No one knows what it would mean for us if we really do live in a hologram, yet theorists have good reasons to believe that many aspects of the holographic principle are true.

This makes me think that this theory is very parallel to the privilege of being able to explore the world via TV and especially the Internet. We are already on the right path to to accessing the right channel to the future. The TV and internet allow us to travel through time rapidly by being able to explore sights in an instant versus having to take the time to get there. The computer is a source of energy like the Sun, in the form of sunlight and heat, supports almost all life on Earth via photosynthesis, and drives the Earth's climate and weather.
TV and internet enable us to view the world virtually. The Universe in my opinion acts the same way dimensionally as like a mirror. Sounds like we need to learn how to develop the film of the universe in order to see the whole universe(the future).

Reality?

I read this post and watched the videos, and even though this twilight zone postulation has promise, I am not convinced. The first problem came with the video. In part one it states that if the optical nerve was cut off, the bird would no longer exist. This is simply not true. The bird still exists to those with healthy eyesight. It just wouldn't be perceived by myself. The end of the video has a problem as well. By suggesting that things exist due to my perception, and then interjecting that there is a Higher Power is nonsense. The Higher Power has to be myself, according to the video. My perceptions are creating the world, according to the information presented. Now, the scientific postulations presented are correct to date in theory, and I myself believe in God. I am not religious, but I do believe in God and I agree that the universe was created. Again however, according to the video it CANNOT be proven, as this Higher Power lives and creates in a dimension we cannot even hope to perceive. Again as well, according to the video it is my perceptions that create my reality. Therefore, we cannot hope to prove in science that God exists. We cannot prove what we cannot perceive, according to the video. But it was colorful, gave a lot of good information and had excellent graphics. Good post for conversation. SherryK.

I'm speechless!

But hey, the hologram hypothesis might explain some of the mysteries of our world, like Osama Bin Laden's whereabouts (don't think about it).

I'm speechless

But it might explain a lot of questions I've had about the world! Intriguing stuff.
