Rewrite the last sentence: if they end up showing that the universe is a 2-D illusion it will pretty much confirm the existance of a Supreme Being/Creator who built it.
Getting to watch the reaction by Libs and Atheists to the existance of God being proven on a government grant will be worth EVERY penny of taxpayer’s dollars spent.
At least IMHO.
This article is quite a bit misleading. (That tends to be common when journalists write articles about science). The point of the holographic universe idea is that it may be possible to make a mathematical model of our 4D (including the time dimension) universe that is 3 dimensional. In no way does this imply that our universe is illusory or that it is any way a hologram in the sense that we normally think of holograms, namely as an unreal image of some object. It merely means that we can simplify models of the universe by eliminating one dimension. This has very little practical impact for just about everyone alive on earth today. It is very exciting for theoretical physicists, however, because it may allow them to simplify the formulation and solution of various theories, and possibly to use those theories to make new testable predictions.

That’s what I’m thinking. I will enjoy watching the athiests go banana cakes. :-)

Or that we are nothing but a video game created in a super intelligent extraterrestrial kids computer.
Remember these two episodes of Star Trek-Next Generation, where the holodeck creations realize they aren’t real?
“#3. The Holodeck Creates (and Then Destroys) Hundreds of Sentient Beings”
“When Picard is playing 1920s detective dress-up during one of his holodeck jaunts, the computer-generated people he interacts with begin to realize that they aren’t real. One of them asks Picard:
“When you’re gone, will this world still exist? Will my wife and kids still be waiting for me at home?”
And then there was the episode where Data and LaForge play Sherlock Holmes and Watson, and Moriety comes to the realization that he is not real. The phrase “i think, therefore i am” does not apply to them. They can think, have emotions, have past memories, but they are not “am.” Scary stuff.
