View Full Version : Our world may be a giant hologram
So if you, and I, and all that is are just holographic images...I guess we shouldn't worry about the small stuff. ;)

well that explains alot
...does this mean I need to add another layer of tinfoil to my hat ?

At least....but make sure it is shiny side out to deflect the holographic bad-guys....
But if the tinfoil is part of the hologram, wouldn't it spawn holographic bad-guys inside your brain? :eek:

You have to use the holo-free variety that is available only at organic food stores in Greenwich Village.

“When the black hole has gone, all the information about the star that collapsed to form the black hole has vanished, which contradicts the widely affirmed principle that information cannot be destroyed. This is known as the black hole information paradox.”
nmap,
WOW, And I was having a hard time figuring out how a “slinky” worked

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.
...this means our universe could actually be a credit card if Lenny Susskind and Jerry Hooft are right.
Now that may be cool if its a "Lowes" or "Home Depot" credit card, but you jokers will be singing a different tune if it turns out that the world IS not only flat, but is also contained on the surface of a "Bed, Bath and Beyond" credit card.
add to that the possibility that my gub-mint travel card may hold an entire universe; I am just not ready for that responsibility

He showed that the physics inside a hypothetical universe with five dimensions and shaped like a Pringle.....
Yip...and that's where I stopped reading. :cool:

WARP 8 Please
"Bekenstein's work provided an important clue in resolving the paradox. He discovered that a black hole's entropy - which is synonymous with its information content - is proportional to the surface area of its event horizon. This is the theoretical surface that cloaks the black hole and marks the point of no return for infalling matter or light. "
WARP speed is getting closer and closer. We just need to figure out how to get between the grains.
A five dimensional pringle shaped, holographic universe on the surface of credit card...
...is that gonna be in the new text books?
WHOA :confused: :eek:
I need a drink.
