Our world may be a giant hologram

Maybe our reality (three spatial dimensions, one temporal dimension) was just a big a$$ quantum fluctuation in 2D space that added distance/time to the works. Maybe that was the "Big Bang". I can buy that more than reality is just a holographic projection.

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. -Marcus Chown

That's a load of BS. It is certain that underlying phenomena understood via theories of physics confound our notion of everyday life. That doesn't change anything about how we understand and experience everyday life.
