The basic idea is that all of the information required to recreate a higher dimensional space is encoded in a lower dimensional space. The information is "spread across" the lower dimension in that each point encodes a lower fidelity representation of the whole.
Seriously though, look up how holograms work. There's a lot of thought provoking aspects to them and it's no wonder they've inspired a lot of novel thought about the nature of the universe.
- JoeAltmaier 7y agoThat doesn't seem to explain anything. The higher-dimensional space isn't low-resolution. We don't live in a flickery monochrome universe?
- throwaway_law 7y ago> We don't live in a flickery monochrome universe? Yes according to Einstein we on a smooth fabric of spacetime that curves in the presence of these 3D objects...but Quantum Mechanics isn't such a smooth universe as you scale downward.
- pharke 7y agoThe higher dimensional space has "full resolution" since it is the summation of all of the data in the lower dimensional space. Any given part of the lower dimensional space has less "resolution" or information because it is a smaller sample of the whole.
