(I love this stuff! -- This is where science ends, and spiritality/mysticism takes over!)
A piece of a hologram contains only a piece of the total amount of information available in the entire hologram. When we view an object, we are seeing a portion of the entire wavefront that emanates from the object. Conventional photography, as well as your eyes, use the energy in that wavefront to create an image via chemical reactions in the imaging media; whether that be silver halide or the chemicals within the retina. A hologram works by recording the phase information of the wavefront as a whole rather than just the energy. It is then played back by using the interferogram to recreate the original wavefront. That new wavefront may then be imaged by your eyes or a camera just as the original was. But each small portion of a hologram only contains information about the part of the wavefront that impigned on that part of the hologram.
It is as though you are looking through a window that becomes suddenly smaller. The smaller window contains less information than the larger window did. The images seen through the window appear whole, but you lose the ability to move around within the window to see the object from different vantage points. As the window narrows, the object becomes more and more two dimensional. A "point hologram" is what one would get if they could "slice and dice" the larger hologram as far as they could. It looks like little more than a conventional two dimensional image.
Reminds me of the quote by the Apostle Paul to the greatest philosophers of the day at the Areopagus in Athens:
"for in Him we live and move and have our being," (Acts 17:28a)
Such a thought alone is pantheistic--and Paul surely was making an appeal to some who had such an "all is god" philosophy. Within Paul's Christian philosophy this thought simply shows the immanence of God... the Apostle, like the rest of the Biblical authors, taught of the transcendence of God as well: God is close by, in everything (immanent)(and everything is in Him) but also beyond everything (transcendent) as well.
Pantheists do have it half right...
Who knows? Hoho. Only the mind knows. Hehe.
1. Photons travel at the speed of light.
2. As things are accelerated toward the speed of light, distances shrink toward zero.
3. Therefore, from the photon's point of view, the Universe is located all in one spot!
So does this mean that all the light we see in the world is just one damn photon zipping all over the place (in our minds) , but in actuality (from its point of view) just fidgeting around in one place!
