Yeah, this is trouble, because the common understanding of "hologram" is very different from the actual definition.
As far as I understand it (and another person has explained it better below), the indication is that the way we perceive the universe indicates that the "data" producing those perceptions is not stored in the same structures we see or detect - instead, those structures (space, mass) are sort of "implied" by a more fundamental way of "storing" that data, which we interpret secondhand because we can't perceive the original. Not sure if this is clear or accurate, but that's what I've taken away from previous articles on a holographic universe.
- bitops 13y agoEven if it's not completely technically accurate, I think your explanation makes the most intuitive sense to me out of all the responses I read.
- jonnathanson 13y agoSo basically, Plato was correct. (Sort of.)
- X4 13y agoIf I get this right, then the irony here is, that everybody is correct and wrong at the same time. Just draw some dots, circles etc. on paper and it could be that one day that non-local representation of the holographic universe holds true.
- Florin_Andrei 13y agoWhat's interesting is that your description would also be appropriate for a computer model, or simulation.
- a3voices 13y agoFrom a few long Youtube videos I just watched, the amount of information in the Universe is limited and based on the total surface area, not the volume.
- wyager 13y agoThis is true. Maximum entropy increases with the surface area of a space, not its volume. This is well explained by the holographic principle.
