Is The Universe A Hologram? Physicists Say It's PossibleAt a black hole, Albert Einstein's theory of gravity apparently clashes with quantum physics, but that conflict could be solved if the Universe were a holographic projection.Theory-that-universe-is-a-hologrammore:http://www.deus-consortium.org/a-propos ... ______It's some time ago that I had shared with my norwegian friend my ideas about the universe. I told her that the current and traditional scientific conception lacks of something, I had told her accordingly to the scientific observations there is something "not logical", unfortunately my maths and background of the topic are not enough to state my own conception and theory of the universe in a formal way . This article that is around in the scientific community is very close to what I have been trying to communicate to my friend, it does explain in a formal way.I am Really Glad that when I tried to explain to her my ideas, she was very interested and kept asking me more about them and we left open the chances of a personal interview. She admitted that I could not be wrong. It is good to know that there is out there someone who believes in oneHowever when I intended to communicate these concepts to "experts" in the subject they were not interested, they almost laugh; usually they are just so closed to revolutionary ideas or to dream.______________________________________________________Ctrl C-V something published also in Google +Brian KoberleinShared publicly - Dec 12, 2013 Sensational Headline!There?s a web post from the Nature website going around entitled ?Simulations back up theory that Universe is a hologram?. Scientific American had ?Universe Really Is a Hologram According to New Simulations?. I won?t link to them, because I don?t want to encourage them getting pageviews for this kind of thing. Suffice it to say, the universe is not a hologram, certainly not in the way people think of holograms. So what is this ?holographic universe? thing.It all has to do with string theory. Although there currently isn?t any experimental evidence to support string theory, and some evidence pointing against it (http://goo.gl/vrYsF), it still garners a great deal of attention because of its perceived theoretical potential. One of the theoretical challenges of string theory is that it requires all these higher dimensions, which makes it difficult to work with.In 1993, Gerard t?Hooft proposed what is now known as the holographic principle (http://goo.gl/YZYFYa), which argued that the information contained within a region of space can be determined by the information at the surface that contains it. Mathematically, the space can be represented as a hologram of the surface that contains it. That idea is not as wild as it sounds. For example, suppose there is a road 10 miles long, and its is ?contained? by a start line and a finish line. Suppose the speed limit on this road is 60 mph, and I want to determine if a car has been speeding. One way I could do this is to watch a car the whole length of the road, measuring its speed the whole time. But another way is to simply measure when a car crosses the start line and finish line. At a speed of 60 mph, a car travels a mile a minute, so if the time between start and finish is less than 10 minutes, I know the car was speeding. The holographic principle applies that idea to string theory. Just as its much easier to measure the start and finish times than constantly measure the speed of the car, it is much easier to do physics on the surface hologram than it is to do physics in the whole volume. The idea really took off when Juan Martín Maldacena derived what is known as the AdS/CFT correspondence (an arxiv version of his paper is here: http://goo.gl/xVEAEQ), which uses the holographic principle to connect the strings of particle physics string theory with the geometry of general relativity. While Maldacena made a compelling argument, it was a conjecture, not a formal proof. So there has been a lot of theoretical work trying to find such a proof. Now, two papers have come out demonstrating that the conjecture works for a particular theoretical case. Of course the situation they examined was for a hypothetical universe, not a universe like ours. So this new work is really a mathematical test that proves the AdS/CFT correspondence for a particular situation.From this you get a headline implying that we live in a hologram. On twitter, +Ethan Siegel proposed a more sensible headline: ?Important idea of string theory shown not to be mathematically inconsistent in one particular way?.Of course that would probably get less attention.Image: Annenberg Learner (http://goo.gl/2zsA5B) Paper: Maldacena, J.

Quotebut that conflict could be solved if the Universe were a holographic projection.Ok, let's assume that.holographic kitBTW the upmarket term is 'optical technology' these days. Very interesting
