Re: Fresh Dose of Quantum Mechanics

sounds like something from the movie event horizon... pretty neat.

Re: Fresh Dose of Quantum Mechanics

the instruments are the limit. for now. i'm not sure this holometer will give the final answer tho, but its deffenetly a step fwd

No matter what we believe to be "the final answer", we will always much further away from it than we know.

I love this stuff, but can never wrap my brain around it

Mind-boggling, but impossible to grasp.

Fermilab to build Holometer to detect if Real is real

The universe-as-hologram theory is predicated on the idea that spacetime is not perfectly smooth, but becomes discrete and pixelated as you zoom in further and further, like a low-res digital image. This idea isn’t novel; recent experiments in black-hole physics have offered evidence that this may be the case, and prominent physicists have proposed similar ideas. Under this theory, the universe actually exists in two dimensions and the third is an illusion produced by the intertwining of time and depth. But the false third dimension can’t be perceived as such, because nothing travels faster than light, so instruments can’t find its limits.
