The Universe As A Hologram

To enable people to better visualize what he means, Bohm offers the following illustration. Imagine an aquarium containing a fish. Imagine also that you are unable to see the aquarium directly and your knowledge about it and what it contains comes from two television cameras, one directed at the aquarium's front and the other directed at its side. As you stare at the two television monitors, you might assume that the fish on each of the screens are separate entities. After all, because the cameras are set at different angles, each of the images will be slightly different. But as you continue to watch the two fish, you will eventually become aware that there is a certain relationship between them. When one turns, the other also makes a slightly different but corresponding turn; when one faces the front, the other always faces toward the side. If you remain unaware of the full scope of the situation, you might even conclude that the fish must be instantaneously communicating with one another, but this is clearly not the case.

This reminds me the old story of an elephant and the seven blind men.

Whatever, this makes an interesting read.

The trouble is to popularize and dumb it down, someone coins a phrase that includes the word hologram, then everybody runs with it and then thinks they mean the world is a hologram

Thats not what they are really talking about at all

Quantum entanglement makes no sense in the way most of us see space, but does make sense and explains a few other things when space is irrelevant , and he kind of says it in the article when he says its unlikely two particles on seperate sides of the universe are sending magical mysterious signals to each other, its more about the architecture of everything

11 dimensions in M theory that get compacted down to explain certain things about gravity, but only at certain scales, outside of that those dimensions are irrelevant. Especially with gravity, a few modern theories at the moment, each of them work well with some things but then are torn apart trying to explain other things

Anyway, for the most part they are all trying to work out a jigsaw puzzle when everyone only has half the pieces, they still dont know shit

 

nothing is real
nothing exists
nothing is something
and it exists
