We Might Be Living Inside A Hologram
- 9 years ago
Researchers have shown that once-speculative notions about the universe operating as a complex computer simulation comparable to a hologram are actually more than feasible.
Our entire physical world might be a hologram--a simulation.
Researchers from the Vienna University of Technology, writing in the journal Physical Review Letters, suggest the idea of a holographic universe is actually quite feasible.
Merging quantum and relativistic models, the study lends weight to the theory that our universe might actually be a fake--and one that functions similarly to the two-dimensional holograms on the surface of some credit cards.
Co-author Max Riegler said, “This calculation affirms our assumption that the holographic principle can also be realized in flat spaces. It is evidence for the validity of this correspondence in our universe."
That all we experience might be a complex simulation is a notion that's been around since the nineties. A
