Are we living in a HOLOGRAM? Physicists believe our universe could just be a projection of another cosmos

    Holographic principle claims gravity comes from thin, vibrating strings
    These strings are holograms of events that take place in a flatter cosmos
    According to this theory, everything we experience can be described as events that take place in this flatter location
    This is the first time the validity of the model has been mathematically tested

THE HOLOGRAPHIC PRINCIPLE

The holographic principle claims gravity in the universe comes from thin, vibrating strings.

These strings are holograms of events that take place in a simpler, flatter cosmos.

The principle suggests that, like the security chip on your credit card, there is a two-dimensional surface that contains all the information needed to describe a three-dimensional object - which in this case is our universe.

In essence, the theory claims that data containing a description of a volume of space - such as a human or a comet - could be hidden in a region of this flattened, 'real' version of the universe.

In a black hole, for instance, all the objects that ever fall into it would be entirely contained in surface fluctuations, almost like a piece of computer memory on contained in a chip.

In a larger sense, the theory suggests that the entire universe can be seen as a 'two-dimensional structure projected onto a cosmological horizon' - or in simpler terms, a projection.

If we could understand the laws that govern physics on that distant surface, the principle suggests we would grasp all there is to know about reality.

My theory: Our universe is a snow globe in the hands of an autistic child.

Well that explains the DUmmies, now what about the rest?

My theory, the universe is a mobius loop.

My theory is that the universe sits on the back of a turtle who is standing on the back of another turtle.

This would be a great thread for one of our moles to take over to the DUmp.  I'll bet Nads would have some interesting but unintelligible but, interesting thoughts on the subject.
