Are we living in the Matrix? Scientist claims the universe is really a HOLOGRAM
Daily Mail ^ | 4/6/25 | Wiliam Hunter

It may sound like the outlandish plot of a poorly conceived science-fiction flick.

But some scientists now claim that humanity, the Earth, and everything else in the universe are really part of a giant holographic projection.

While this might sound all too familiar to fans of The Matrix, this bold idea could solve some of physics' most challenging questions.

2-D? 3-D?

Looks like a AA. Maybe a C.

Yeah - for ones who are foolish enough to say... take an experimental genetic jab for a free donut.

Scientist claims the universe is really a HOLOGRAM.

And they said LSD users would never find a good job.

The scientists cited in the article are all highly credentialed experts in theoretical physics and cosmology. Their work on holography and black hole physics is serious academic research within mainstream science—not fringe speculation.

When they suggest we might be “living in the Matrix,” they’re not saying we’re in a simulation run by machines or aliens.

They’re suggesting that reality might not be what it seems—not because it’s fake, but because it may be fundamentally structured in a more complex and abstract way than we perceive. For example, what appears to be a 3D world might actually be encoded in 2D data.

The article isn’t that outrageous when we consider that we already know the world isn’t exactly what it appears to be. What feels solid is actually empty space filled with atoms, whose boundaries are defined by electron clouds repelling one another.

What looks like color is simply the reflection of specific wavelengths of light. So even in classical physics, our everyday experience is an interpretation of deeper, invisible structures—making theories like the holographic principle less far-fetched than they might initially sound.

“The Lord created the universe in 2D then 3D. when man tried to reach up to be like God at the tower of babel...He created 4D. Then later the Lord made President Donald J Trump and showed him how 5D works”. the gospel according to Lars.

“… Any thoughts?…”

Yep, that’s how know this is a BS theory.

I believe we are living in a computer simulation. The Bible more than hints this is not the real (permanent) world but a prelude for those who are chosen (or choose or pre-destined or saved) to enter the real world.
The weak argument here is that we are not in a 2-D hologram doesn't hold up. God can create a multi-dimensional hologram if He chooses. Why do they put limits on Gods abilities? But, as the article states, the math works out on a hologram or simulation universe and nothing in the Bible contradicts it.

More parsimoniously means that the material world derives from the thoughts of God. But the thing most clear is that it is not simply there without owing its existence to something more real.

We know that we are living on a planet, so that would be a no. Since we now have more than space programs than the one we used to have and we have satellites that orbit the earth, we have visited the moon, we have telescopes that are probing the universe. That the likely answer is no for the Universe being nothing more than a hologram. Unless everyone is lying about what we see as rockets being launched, which would have to include a very large conspiracy to have no one of knowledge ever come forth to expose it as a hoax after 6 & 1/2 decades.

Buzz Aldrin is often mentioned in relation to a video clip where he appears to hint that no one has been to the Moon in recent times. However, the context of the interview suggests that Aldrin was explaining why there hadn't been a return to the Moon, not that the original Moon landings were fake. In other interviews, Aldrin clearly states that he did go to the Moon. The misunderstanding likely stems from the editing of the clip, which can change the meaning of his words.

Buzz Aldrin: Second person to walk on the Moon during Apollo 11, but a video clip has been misinterpreted as him admitting the Moon landings were fake. The other explanation id that Buzz was joking to feed the narrative that is was fake for his own personal amusement.

So, for those reasons, I do not think we are living in a hologram. Some space exists beyond our planet. Is it as large as some estimate?

I doubt we humans will ever realize what the truth is with regards to the size of the Universe.

Perhaps once we disrobe from our earthly bodies coverings, we may remember what the truth is.

This is very true..

The hologram is created by consciousness. Thoughts (consciousness) manifests in the physical in various octaves of reality.

In the beginning was the “Word” and that “Word” was manifested in the flesh. A “Word” is merely a metaphor for a pattern of consciousness that has meaning. Consciousness was manifested in the flesh.

The human soul is merely a seed of consciousness, in these seed pod physical bodies, planted in the darkness of earth to sprout, grow, and transcend self. Transcendence is graduation.

There’s also the notion that the earth is an atom in a pea on a giant’s dinner table and that we’re about to be gobbled up.

Yes. This universe is real, in the sense that all measurable physical properties are really happening per the Standard Model. It is not fake, and it is not a simulation.

But what does HP imply? It means is that our reality might be embedded in a much larger reality, one that is bigger than we can possiby imagine. It might even be a hierarchy. For example, we know there is a Third Heaven (2 Cor 12:2).

God's house has many mansions (Jn 14:2). We won't know for sure how it works all until we meet our Lord face to face, but it is interesting to think about.
