The holographic principle claims gravity in the universe comes from thin, vibrating strings.
These strings are holograms of events that take place in a simpler, flatter cosmos.
The principle suggests that, like the security chip on your credit card, there is a two-dimensional surface that contains all the information needed to describe a three-dimensional object - which in this case is our universe.
In essence, the theory claims that data containing a description of a volume of space - such as a human or a comet - could be hidden in a region of this flattened, 'real' version of the universe.
In a black hole, for instance, all the objects that ever fall into it would be entirely contained in surface fluctuations, almost like a piece of computer memory on contained in a chip.
In a larger sense, the theory suggests that the entire universe can be seen as a 'two-dimensional structure projected onto a cosmological horizon' - or in simpler terms, a projection.
If we could understand the laws that govern physics on that distant surface, the principle suggests we would grasp all there is to know about reality.
The concepts of dimension and orthogonality are constructs, a consequence of the human way of perceiving the universe. They are valid perceptions but are also limited, and perhaps limiting.
I personally think gravity is the key to a lot of our questions. Its my opinion that we think of gravity all wrong.
Watching a show about black holes this morning and it struck me that maybe gravity is faster than the speed of light. If a black hole can overcome the 186,000 miles per second of light, maybe its pulling it faster in the opposite direction.
Just morning ponderin.
The irony of the “our universe is a hologram of another universe, that explains everything” is that it begs the question - where did the other universe come from?
