What if the Universe is a hologram?

When Stephen Hawking came up with his equation regarding the entropy of a black hole, in essence it created a paradox, for the mathematics showed that the black hole would eventually consume everything in the universe and disappear. Now there was a certain amount of symmetry to this, as this was the obverse of the “big bang” theory, which concerned a singularity arising from nothing. The only problem this created was that there was no conservation of information, that is to say the information regarding objects such as color, makeup, position and movement in space. Such information would allow for the recreation of objects, but also is required for reality to be ordered, such that the table you are about to put your tray on does not disappear and go poof! This is very necessary if you believe reality to be real.

So Leonard Susskind’s twenty year journey to find a hole in Stephen Hawking’s argument was important in order to hold on to the belief that reality is real. He conjured the idea, what if we considered the universe to be a hologram in three dimensions? Then, the information to represent the universe could be encoded to a two dimensional surface existing outside the universe. This surface would exist outside the universe in the form of a film with the universe contained inside. This would make the universe finite, however. This would allow for information to be conserved as the black hole consumes the universe, leaving information at the surface of the vortex, representing the hole consuming the entire universe. This does create the problem of, if so then what is outside the universe? And, where is the information to be stored? What is then the difference in starting from the point of defining everything as arising from nothing?

This is in essence the concept of the singularity of the big bang. If we start with nothing, and are only looking at probabilities of finding certain effects, then the sixteen fundamental particles do not exist as particles but only as unique probabilities of certain effects. When these effects are placed together and aggregated they seem to have the effects of becoming three dimensional holograms that can be observed. It stands to reason though, that as three dimensional holograms, arising out of nothing, they can only be observable illusions and the information regarding the holograms themselves and their behavioral changes can be recorded only by observation and therefore have to be in consciousness. It is clear there is no way out of the mathematical and logical implications that lead back to the realization that all of this takes place only in consciousness and awareness. It goes back to the conversation between Einstein and Bohr when Einstein states that he would like to believe the moon is still there when he is not observing it. Bohr’s answer was that it may not be possible to prove the opposite either. The essence of this is that the reality is based on observation and then dependent on consciousness.

What does this mean to us in the average everyday world? It would mean that our world is holographic and created by our consciousness, which would allow us to modify it at will and to enable any outcome we desire to be within reach. Simply we need to put ourselves in the position where we are enabled to make changes in our consciousness. This implies we need to practice exercises of consciousness. This speaks to activities such as meditation and visualization. These would in this model augment our ability to observe so we interact holographically with the subatomic particles.

    I have done extensive research on this subject, and agree completely with the way this was written. I only wish I had the eloquence to put it into quality writing. I will certainly make a link to https://www.thehealingattribute.com/index-inside.php/2011/09/what-if-the-universe-is-a-hologram/ on my site.

    Can I simply say what a aid to find somebody who actually is aware of what they’re speaking about on the internet. You positively know the right way to bring a problem to light and make it important. More folks must read this and understand this side of the story. I cant imagine you’re no more well-liked because you undoubtedly have the gift.
