Simulations back up theory that Universe is a hologram
Science ^ | 10 December 2013 | Ron Cowen

A team of physicists has provided some of the clearest evidence yet that our Universe could be just one big projection.

In 1997, theoretical physicist Juan Maldacena proposed1 that an audacious model of the Universe in which gravity arises from infinitesimally thin, vibrating strings could be reinterpreted in terms of well-established physics. The mathematically intricate world of strings, which exist in nine dimensions of space plus one of time, would be merely a hologram: the real action would play out in a simpler, flatter cosmos where there is no gravity.

Maldacena's idea thrilled physicists because it offered a way to put the popular but still unproven theory of strings on solid footing — and because it solved apparent inconsistencies between quantum physics and Einstein's theory of gravity. It provided physicists with a mathematical Rosetta stone, a 'duality', that allowed them to translate back and forth between the two languages, and solve problems in one model that seemed intractable in the other and vice versa (see

The computer simulations showing that our entire existence is a hologram...

...

Actually they don’t. Read my post #40. The title of the article is crap.

In my opinion, it is very clear the universe was created through grand design. The composite of the universe is made up of fractals. This pattern of fractals is repeated over and over again throughout every single living organism on earth and in the universe. Clearly, this was all grandly designed. The symmetry is simply too highly ordered to suggest randomness or a hologram.

How many angels can dance on the point of a pin?

That is the level of this “scientific” postulate, which requires a number of additional dimensions and endless “finagle factors” to make it remotely workable. Kind of like Obamacare.

The Collective Ego made it and supports it. Simple if you just give it some thought. The bottom line is the hologram doesn’t exist. It is an illusion.

I’d like to modify my holodeck program too.

How many naked Mila Kunas’ can we fit in a universe?

IOW, “Someone turn on the lights on the Holodeck!”

Three things that can never be scientifically explained.

1. The edge of the universe and what’s beyond that.

2, ghosts

3, gay guys

They build a model and they prove what? That the model conforms to what they programmed it to “project”. That today passes for “science”.
