If you "lived inside" a hologram, you could tell by measuring the blurring. Fermilab is building a interferometer to test space time for holographic blurring.
Possible consequence of holography
Hypothesis: observable correlations are encoded on light sheets and limited by information capacity of a Planck wavelength carrier (“Planck information flux” limit)
Predicts uncertainty in position at Planck diffraction scale

Ok. So then WHO built the projector?
I swear the world is going insane.
I know I am.

This exercise seems like a waste of time, talent and brainpower.

They don’t mean an actual hologram. They mean a universe bounded by Planck-scale wave interferences.
The article makes it sound like the universe is a human-type film hologram read with a laser in a lab, but read carefully.

That’s funny, I once had a dream that Planck was involved in some sort of a higher-level boundary condition. Details blurred by the time I woke up.

This exercise seems like a waste of time, talent and brainpower. Yeah, but what else are you gonna do with a $$???? billion , humongous, atom-smasher?
Using it to see if we can make a very expensive garbage disposal seems a bit of a waste.

A lot of scientists are disturbed by the fraction of research dollars being consumed by these mega-experiments too.

In that context.... If all the light in the Universe went out, would the Universe still exist?

I see the world in which we live very much as The Matrix. It is not NEARLY as real as eternity. Heck, matter is basically coagulated energy and everything around us is mostly empty space. Perception really is reality, and reality is mostly “nothing”.
I seriously wonder if the “root” force that is holding it all together is a little thing called God’s will.

In that context.... If all the light in the Universe went out, would the Universe still exist? Experiment. Find the switch. Turn it OFF. See if you and the switch still exist. If so, please turn it back on. I've kinda gotten used to the place.

I'm sure there would be a nightlite on somewhere just to keep the boogeyman away.......
