Holograms are 2d images that look 3d from our perspective.
Similarly, this theory is that our perceived reality of 3 spatial dimensions + time is actually fully contained on a 2d surface.
- droopybuns 10y agoThank you for taking the time to try to educate me. I think that this metaphor is flawed. Holograms project an illusion of depth, but they clearly are not 3 dimensional. The metaphor falls apart if your thought process includes the assumption that eyesight is an unreliable depth detector. There are other methods for detecting x/y/z coordinates that do not rely on eyesight- consequently, I'm having a hard time reconciling what the metaphor describes. I feel that Platz's material below is more descriptive and helps communicate the concepts in a far less confusing way.
