Leading physicists seriously consider the possibility that our universe can be a huge holographic projection. According to this radical theory, the three-dimensional reality that we observe-complete with planets, life forms and galaxy is an illusion.
Instead, everything we know can be encrypted on a two -dimensional surface, such as a cosmic projection.
Professor Marika Taylor, a theoretical physicist at the University of Birmingham, explains that the conventional view of our universe can be incomplete as a three -dimensional structure.
She suggests that the reality as we experience can be a hologram instead -a 3D projection of information stored on a 2D limit, just like the holograms that are seen in Star Wars or the digital versions of ABBA Voyage.
“It is very difficult to visualize this,” Professor Taylor told the Daily mail.
“However, it is also quite difficult to visualize what is happening in an atom. At the beginning of the twentieth century we have followed that atoms follow quantum rules, which are also very different from our daily reality. Holography takes us to an even more extreme world, where not only the forces of the forces are reality, but the number of dimensions is different from our observation.”
In contrast to the matrix, where reality is a simulation that is controlled by machines, Professor Taylor emphasizes that the theory of the holographic universe does not imply that our experiences are artificial. Instead, it suggests that the fundamental nature of reality works under different physical laws than we accept.
“The Matrix films are very thinking, but probably did not record all the ideas in holography,” she added.
Fermilab, a leading laboratory for particle physics, also warns against incorrect interpretation of the theory as a simulation run by an external force.
“The idea that our well -known three -dimensional universe is somehow coded in two dimensions at the most fundamental level, does not imply that there is someone or something ‘outside’ the two -dimensional representation, ‘the illusion or’ run ‘the simulation’, the lab explains.
So far, scientists have not found definitive evidence of a holographic universe, but research continues. Professor Craig Hogan, an astrophysicist at the University of Chicago, is of the opinion that subtle indications can be hidden in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) – The afterglow of the Big Bang.
“If it is holographic, the CMB pattern shows that signs of it,” Hogan said. “It keeps a picture of the processed process.”
Although the idea remains speculative, current experiments are aimed at detecting “holographic noise” – small fluctuations that can reveal whether our universe really works as a cosmic hologram. Physicists continue to look for answers in the echoes of the birth of the universe.
