“quantum effects cause space-time to convulse wildly
the fabric of space-time becomes grainy - made of
tiny units like pixels”
“the graininess of space-time is discernable”
Holograms on credit cards are etched on
two-dimensional plastic films – light
bounces off them, recreating a 3-
dimensional image - the same
principle applies to the
whole universe
Everyday experience is a holographic
projection of physical processes
taking place on a distant,
2-dimensional surface
The holographic principle rules out
other approaches to quantum gravity,
boosting both matrix theory and string theory
Ultimately, it indicates
how space-time emerged
from quantum theory
[Some lines quoted directly from the article and
poetic license used in summarizing the salient
points. I like considering the implications of living
in a holographic universe and share the scientific
evidence on which the theory of such a universe
is based.]

In another dimension I might even be smart enough to understand all that? Is that inclusive in the holographic theory, can it help account for the missing dimensions? Love the short cosmic journey this took me on.
