The work sprung out of a long argument with Stephen Hawking about the nature of black holes, which was eventually solved by the realization that the event horizon could act as a hologram, preserving information about the material that’s gotten sucked inside. The same sort of math, it turns out, can actually describe any point in the Universe, meaning that the entire content Universe can be viewed as a giant hologram, one that resides on the surface of whatever two-dimensional shape will enclose it.

a long argument with Stephen Hawking so off-topic - but every time I see his name, I think of the line in Big Bang about Hawking's supposed whiney attitude, "Everyone knows Stephen Hawking is such a baby; he should be in a stroller, not a wheelchair".

Life is like a box of chocolates. So is the Universe. Which proceeded from the Bible saying, "as above, so below".
