Do We Live In a 3-D World... or a 2-D Hologram?

Do We Live In a 3-D World... or a 2-D Hologram?

Much like characters on a television screen would not know that their seemingly 3-D world exists only on a 2-D screen, we could be clueless that our 3-D space is just an illusion. The information about everything in our universe could actually be encoded in tiny packets in two dimensions. A unique experiment at the US Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, near Chicago, Illinois, has started collecting data using a holographic interferometer that will help answer this mind bending question about our universe -- Do we live in a 2-D hologram?

What a great time to be a physicist.

The Bible says, "The things which are seen are temporary, the things which are unseen are eternal".<br><br>The 10 dimensional universe, which physics points to, is further evidence that what the Bible says is true.

Yes, a fantastic time to be a physicist. Wish I was far younger with far more capabilities to pursue this. Simply the most exciting work.<br>Pete
