Wormhole Simulated in Quantum Computer Could Bolster Theory That the Universe is a hologram [Created a Baby Wormhole]

Quantum experiment conducted on Google's Sycamore 2 computer transferred data across two simulated black holes, adding weight to the holographic principle of the universePhysicists have used a quantum computer to simulate the first-ever holographic wormhole and transport information through it.

The "baby" wormhole, created on Google's Sycamore 2 quantum computer was not created with gravity, but through quantum entanglement — the linking of two particles such that measuring one instantaneously affects the other. By entangling qubits, or quantum bits, in minuscule superconducting circuits physicists were able to create a portal through which information was sent. The experiment has the potential to further the hypothesis that our universe is a hologram stitched together by quantum information. The researchers published their findings Nov. 30 in the journal Nature(opens in new tab).

"This is a baby step for interrogating quantum gravity in the lab," lead author Maria Spiropulu(opens in new tab), a physicist at the California Institute of Technology, said at a Nov. 30 news conference. "When we saw the data, I had a panic attack. We were jumping up and down. But I'm trying to keep it grounded."

What if the black hole is just the end stuff goes in to and the white hole is where stuff comes out? What if there was no big bang just a universe on one side being pulled in and ejected out the other? And what if that process is never ending? That someday our universe will stop expanding and start being sucked back into the galactic rift just to be re-ejected again out the other side starting the process again.

As they threw out general relativity from the simulation because it made things too complicated, I suspect the conclusion is very very imperfect.

That’s the stuff one thinks about while sitting back and smoking a few good joints ... Man.

So a simulation of simulated things gets simulated results. How does this relate to the real universe? You know. The one we can see and touch.

Some mathematicians believe that everything they find in math also exists in the observable universe. This is incorrect. There is not even 1-1 in the real universe.

Nah, that’s just the way my mind works. I don’t drink, smoke or do drugs, never have. I just think about weird stuff in weird ways. 🖖 Peace out. 🤣
