Such phrasing is not all that uncommon. But I agree the following few paragraphs could do a better job explaining what the word means. http://www.youtube.com/

- jessriedel 16y agoFrankly, I'm more inclined to fault Bousso for using misleading language. That's a lecture for a general audience. The word "hologram" isn't used in physics articles except for poetic fluff. For instance, in Bousso's much-cited review article, the word is used exactly once in the main text: "Holographic screens with this information density can be constructed for arbitrary spacetimes—in this sense, the world is a hologram." This is mostly marketing.
