More of this BS? Really? Some physicists have absolutely no shame in what they will have published for publicity and money.

First it was: Perceived limitations that could have a perfectly reasonable explanation? "Uh, THE MATRIX!"
Now this: Can't connect two unproven theories? "Make something up with uninformed simulations that rely on our ill-conceived knowledge of how the universe works!"

There is a similar theory to this involving the event horizon of a black hole and Matter that falls into it a few years back.
Where by the object falling in would appear to be frozen from the viewer on the outside, whilst at the same time matter is falling into oblivion. Once an object reaches this point, the visual information of matter(what you see), remains forever trapped at the surface. Just like a hologram, even though, you could never see it due to gravity's effect.
But that's all theory though.

That's what I would call projecting. Many tgings are called theories nowadays.

im too stupid to understand anything in the story but it sounds cool

A holographic universe implies an infinite series of holographic universe, and therefore implies that reality IS simulation, and that nothing is higher than that - that there is no higher reality.

This "evidence" is the logical extreme of the materialism. If one assumes pure materialism is true, this is what the universe becomes. These physicists have asked the question: "is the universe holographic?" all the while assuming materialism, and thus the whole thing becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

If the universe is a giant simulation, it is therefore a version of something that is deficient to that which it is simulating. A simulation is no longer simulation once it BECOMES the very thing it is simulating - at that point it IS that thing. It is not a simulation at that point, but "real." What then, is our universe, our reality, a simulation of? Is it possible then for us to create yet another simulation within our simulated universe? Assuming materialism is true, and that ALL reality is reducible to matter, then we should be able to. If WE create a simulated universe, then it's safe to assume that those who created US, are also a simulation who created a simulation. It is seemingly an infinite regression, for who is to say that those who simulated really us occupy some kind of "ultimate" reality? If WE can reproduce ourselves, there's no reason why those who reproduced themselves and created us were not themselves created by others that preceded them. Materialism works for us because as humans, the thing we're most conscious of in everyday experience is matter, and we thus assume, because of general anthropocentrism that matter must be all there is. We can't admit of gaps in our knowledge - gaps in our very cognitive ability. We secretly think humanity is supreme.

However, if you assume that materialism is NOT true or at least ask questions beyond it (everyday the evidence is mounting, read Rupert Sheldrake's stuff), the idea of the holographic universe becomes bankrupt. Indeed, there are many clearly non-material elements to existence; subjective qualitative experience is but one. Morphogenesis and consciousness are others. In fact, many materialist scienftific doctrines like to sneak in or presuppose the immaterial whilst denying it's existence - selfish genes and genetic programs are examples.

Read my blog post about this kind of thing: http://thebahhumbugchrusplu...

The viewable universe is ancient in the light that reaches us. In other words it looks absolutely nothing like we see if we could be in close proximity to distant objects. So I guess yes, it can be perceived to be a hologram given it is absolutely not really there as we see it.

There goes the neighborhood again...

well if it were a hologram it must be stable as a mother #$@#ER because even the slightest twitch it would become obvious over all these years and years and years

Bull shit... We still dont understand the human body yet they keep pulling all the numbers out their ass...

I knew it... "computer, end program..."

HEY SHELDON YOU IN HERE!!

No one truly knows what 'space' is made of and yet someone believes it's all a hologram? Well, it is just but one theory. We haven't even lived on another planet yet, and already this idea of 'holographic afterimages' has been thought up....

We've still got a long way to go.

How did I miss this?

Not sure I can fathom the implication of the resulting possibilities...um wait, what did I just say?

Umm david icke I salute you .

Someone as been watching too much Inception.
