Our world may be a giant hologram

[Teki187]

"If the GEO600 result is what I suspect it is, then we are all living in a giant cosmic hologram."

Now that is just completely mind blowing.

I know there is already another thread on this in speakers corner, but it'd be interesting to get some other peoples opinions on this that don't venture in to that part.

If I were a hologram, wouldn't I be a lot lighter than I am now?!

If you ate less pies that would help. Assuming holographic pies add to the effect of being in a hologram.

Thanks for the link, stuff like this blows my mind - In a similar vein to the recent thread which showed our planets size in comparison to the rest of the universe I just can't comprehend it all to be completely honest,

 

[mattheman]

rimmer universe?

 

[gillywibble]

Mind blowing, yes that about sums it up.

I still think the ending to Men In Black is the most realistic depiction of our universe and every other universe .

Interesting though I don't understand every part of it. I understand that that instrument is extremely sensitive though and it's picking up frequencies in the audio band, nowhere is completely silent surely?

 

[Amnesia]

if the world is a hologram...does that mean when we eat that we are not really eating ?
why are we alive ?

 

[willhub]

Cool, so when will I be able to purchase my first Holodeck from OcUK?

There's a video about this on Youtube - search Holographic Universe its a 2 part. Also for more mind boggling search for quantum tunneling, quantum particles, quantum reality. It turns out its more probably that our Universe is a computer program than it is real.

Maybe there is a God, He's a big fat Linux programmer.

I'm waiting for David Icke to post.

How many bizarre and contradictory ideas can you believe at once, Teki? I'm curious to know.

I'm even more curious to hear your rationale for swallowing every new "revelation" or "conspiracy" that you've read about. They can't all be true.

why are we alive ?

to munch on chocolate buttons in a break between games of left 4 dead whilst browsing GD forums for threads about the universe?
had a long long thought and that was about the best i could come up with

 

[blix]

Can anyone summarize what they mean by hologram? As obviously they don't mean it in the conventional sense.

 

[Tombo]

Words can not describe the idiocy.

 

[MidnightLamp]

incredible but just too much and mindblowing. i cant understand what im meant to understand

 

[Herojuana]

Ah deleted my stupidity

 

[jrodga2k5]

would i not just fall through what I thought was the ground?!
