The theories that reality/universe is a hologram get a bit of a boost. Interesting reading at any rate.

Oddly enough, when I’m hung over I don’t feel like a hologram...

It’s called “The Matrix”

Biblical creationists can’t possibly compete with atheists/agnostics when it comes to believing in absurd things with blind faith.

I enjoy gravitational theory, I really do. I also look for lost money where the most light is.

So who or what is running the hologram generator?

The Universe is hard for most people to comprehend. Heck Obama voters may not even know we are standing on a planet that goes round a nuclear furnace. Or the output of the nuclear furnace may not be, imagine that, a constant.

I find it curious that a science publication will give time to this puffery but not to debunking the AGW hoax. For instance, publishing the different laws of physics, thermodynamics and chemistry that need be violated if the AGW hoax is true. Strange wouldn’t you say.

Me, the Universe is what it is. And we may not know what that is.

I have been following this for a while and this has garnered considerable attention lately (even InstaPundit linked to it)

There are two ways to look at this. One is that our physical Universe is as it seems it is. I consider this to be the equivalent of Newtonian Physics

The second is that we PERCEIVE the Universe a certain way (and it is perfectly fine to do so) but the actual laws of the Universe, the state of the Universe and existence of the Universe is a lot more complicated that a “casual” observer would perceive. This is the equivalent (in a metaphor) to Einstienian Physics

For those of us that believe in God, this does not (IMHO) preclude God. We all know that God has mysteries that us humans cannot comprehend. Why can this not be one of them.

So who (or what) is programming this hologram? I need to send a request for a 6-figure a year career and a smokin’ 40-something redhead as my main squeeze.

Sounds hokey to me.

I wonder if it looks anything like a yellow submarine.

The Universe is the hologram on God’s credit card.

Terrific book: The Holographic Universe by Michael Talbot. Worth the read.

[SuperLuminal]

Has anyone contacted albore about this for additional scientific support?

[ThomasThomas]

If the universe is a hologram why do blind people not know that nothing else is there?
