HOLOGRAM? Physicists believe our universe could just be a projection of another cosmos

The universe is a hologram and everything you can see - including this article and the device you are reading it on - is a mere projection.

This is according to a controversial model proposed in 1997 by theoretical physicist Juan Maldacena.

Until now the bizarre theory had never been tested, but recent mathematical models suggest that the mind-boggling principle could be true.

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, the universe we believe we inhabit is a 3D projection of a 2D alternate universe.

They trying to prove that the universe and everything in it doesn't actually exist?

Sounds like the Men In Black movies.

do these people get paid for “developing” these theories?

[Lazamataz]

Yes, but in holographic, 2 dimensional projected Reserve Notes.

Hmmm...so somewhere there is a world were “O” really DOES have an authentic BC... there is a Karen Sibelius who actually is NOT an criminal.. there is a GOP that REALLY REALLY gives a s&^t about it's constituents...there is an ACA where you REALLY can keep your plan if you like it....?

Not a widely accepted theory among most real astrophysicists.

I saw something just recently on The Universe and the scientists talking about it sounded pretty skeptical themselves.

No, such things are metaphysical impossibilities in ANY universe.

Reminds me of the scene in Animal House where Pinto smokes his first joint and starts asking the prof if the universe isn’t just an atom in some giant’s thumbnail.

old story this nonsense was first published months ago.

its still pure foolishness

[GeronL]

the strangest theory yet and it actually fits string theory better than the others.

Humans trying to understand the mysteries of the universe is like ants trying to figure out how an iPhone works.

There you go. The flat earthers were right.

When I reach out in front of me, there’s actually no depth to my reality. When I drive from here to the relative’s home, I’ve really not gone anywhere. It’s all a projection.

Traveling to the moon was no accomplishment. We could have taken one step and been there. Soon space exploration is going to be so much easier.

HOGWASH!

See, I make up stupid things too.

Send me money.

This topic is discussed in “the community” with a straight face - with no more evidence than a “could be”.

And yet, posit the existence of an a (completely plausible) Creator - and you’re a crackpot...

[mosaicwolf]

The physical universe is a projection of the collective Ego. It is not reality. The Ego only perceives it as real. Yes we all are part of the collective Ego. Sorry. The Ego knows nothing at all. It only is capable of perception.

OK have at it! :-)

THE WORDS OUT ..AND NOW THE IRSS will surely be on the case...
