This freaked the crap out of me. Discussion?? I can not wait to see the replies to this theory.

[Bogey78O]

Is this for real?

Somehow each particle always seems to know what the other is doing. The problem with this feat is that it violates Einstein's long-held tenet that no communication can travel faster than the speed of light. Since traveling faster than the speed of light is tantamount to breaking the time barrier, this daunting prospect has caused some physicists to try to come up with elaborate ways to explain away Aspect's findings. But it has inspired others to offer even more radical explanations.

Einstein IS in trouble. The speed of light isn’t constant.

Someone get ahold of Morpheus. The Universe is indeed The Matrix!

The Holographic Universe -- book by Michael Talbot

[T'wit]

Under Newton, the universe seemed like a great machine. Since then, it has seemed more and more like a great thought. I don't see that holograms add anything to our understandings.

i checked out the source... a website of a physic who at the age of 11 saw two aliens while in nevada!? author unknown?? i don't buy it... sorry.

Great Informative post

You might be interested in The Holographic Universe by Michael Talbot.

Wholeness and the Implicate Order, by Bohm, is on my bedside table but I'm barely into it. Any thoughts on it?

I am of the thought Talbot is behind this piece. His name was relayed to me when doing research here.

Don't be scared by this hocus-pocus bag of magic tricks.

LOLOL SERIOUSLY! I have been researching this the last 4 days and this piece was so informative along with Talbot's stuff...I dunno...kinda scared the crap out of me but scientists are growing by the hundreds who are believing this.

Ditto just getting into the entire thing myself.

Yes, this is for real. I think the hologram part is an artistic stretch, but the fact that particles "have an instant connection" has been verified ad nauseum.

[RightWhale]

An interesting synthesis.

Photons can be made to communicate instantaneously regardless of separation, even apparently across the enire galaxy, after a fashion.

This is not a problem, but consciousness itself is still a mystery, holograms or not. We can never know, and all of science and religion cannot explain that final mystery.

I confess these type of articles challenge my philosophy of orgins. It is without a doubt provocative. And somewhat spooky. :-)

[d4now]

Have you read the Tao of Physics, by Capra? It's what got be started.

[Bogey78O]

Are you familiar with the ansible from Orson Scott Card's novels? It's a device that can communicate across the universe using particles queued to each other.

The Universe is indeed The Matrix!

That is the basis of the movie. The censors let it pass only because the true meaning was distorted for the entertainment of the uninitiated.

This strikes me as did the popular fascination with Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle several decades ago did.

In that case, as in this case, a property of some specific subatomic physics is extended by naive writers to other areas of human endeavor as if it were directly applicable.

I think not. Rather I think that both Uncertainty (then) and the pairing of electrons understood (here) as a manifestation of a Holographic like property are being stretched beyond their proper orgins to be metaphors for much else.

Metaphors are fine - I enjoy them myself. But don't confuse them with reality, or even scientific models of reality.

I like Karl Poppers view that science is distinguished by its being able to be disproven -- conclusively invalidated. Metaphors are not science.
