The holographic model suggests gravity in the universe comes from thin, vibrating strings. These strings are holograms of events that take place in a simpler, flatter cosmos

According to the theory, gravity in the universe comes from thin, vibrating strings. These strings are holograms of events that take place in a simpler, flatter cosmos.

Sure, the Universe may be holographic, but history is fractal!

There is a scene in Animal house where some of the youths and Donald Sutherland are smoking dope. They have a conversation that has a similar tone.

From Fantastic Voyage, by Isaac Asimov. Published in 1966:

"... Miniaturization is quite possible, but by neither method you have described. Have you ever seen a photograph enlarged, Mr. Grant? Or reduced to microfilm size?"

"Of course."

"Without theory, then, I tell you that the same process can be used on three-dimensional objects; even on a man. We are miniaturized, not as literal objects, but as images; as three-dimensional images manipulated from outside the universe of space-time."

Grant smiled. "Now, teacher, those are just words."

“a theory that has never been tested”

That doesn’t sound much like a theory at all really. If its untestable …is it actually science? or some vague philosophy based off our admittedly limit knowledge? While I don’t claim to understand the math involved , if its non-testable its not actually science.
