If you’re reading this, you are holographic
OK. I still usually drink coffee and read news, blogs and other random things on the internet on Saturday mornings. I just have no plans to write about it.
But sometimes you just have to share. And I choose to share this:
Hogan, who has just been appointed director of Fermilab’s Center for Particle Astrophysics, has an even bigger shock in store: “If the GEO600 result is what I suspect it is, then we are all living in a giant cosmic hologram.”
The idea that we live in a hologram probably sounds absurd, but it is a natural extension of our best understanding of black holes, and something with a pretty firm theoretical footing.
The full, odd, and apparently serious story is here. Dr Hogan appears to be a real person, qualified to call us all holograms.
I find it strange that everything might be happening in two dimensions, somewhere far away (and presumably long ago, as light moves rather slowly).

We ARE a hologram. All this is just ultra condensed light suspended in the epicenter of one giant black hole.
