    The universe could turn out to be a "vast and complex hologram", meaning that life in 3D is an illusion, astrophysicists have said.
    Researchers from the University of Southampton, working with colleagues from Canada and Italy, say they have found substantial evidence of a holographic universe - an idea first suggested in the 1990s.
    They reached their conclusion after investigating irregularities in the cosmic microwave background - otherwise known as the "afterglow" of the Big Bang.
    Evidence for the theory matches more traditional explanations in strength, they have said.
    Thus, what we think of as our 3D world may be an illusion.
    Professor of mathematical sciences at Southampton, Kostas Skenderis, said it was similar to watching a 3D film in the cinema.
    While we perceive the pictures as having height, width and depth, they do in fact come from a flat screen.
    In a 3D universe, Professor Skenderis said, the difference is that we are able to touch objects, and the "projection" appears to be "real", even though it could be an illusion.
    He also compared the idea to the "hologram on a credit card ... however, this time, the entire universe is encoded".
    "Holography is a huge leap forward in the way we think about the structure and creation of the universe," Professor Skenderis added.
    "Einstein's theory of general relativity explains almost everything large scale in the universe very well, but starts to unravel when examining its origins and mechanisms at quantum level.
    "Scientists have been working for decades to combine Einstein's theory of gravity and quantum theory.
    "Some believe the concept of a holographic universe has the potential to reconcile the two.
    "I hope our research takes us another step towards this."

    I read with interest.....

    The above supports an article that i was reading the other night about the theory that exists amongst many scholars, that the earth is infact flat . The article also touched on the subject matter, of time travel being very likely due to quantum physics and the way both sound and light waves are constructed and bend, in a holographic universe. Just like the blue screen they use within the Tv and film industry, certain sections of society believe that our world is a projection of sorts and our cosmic vibration interacts to allow things to appear solid on our said field of life as we know it......heavy reading ...i know

    Yeh well, explain this, how come that when you turn your speakers upside-down the music doesn't sound upside-down?

    Does that mean we didn't really sell Hourihane?

    Struggling to understand how the universe could be a hologram. But then that's also the case for all of theoretical physics.

    Hope Hecky's seen this

    it could provide an advantage over the rest, kit the team out with VR headsets showing the actual pitch. They would then be seeing a 2D projection of the "real world" which would correspond more closely to reality and thus enable our players to visualise a through ball to Armstrong more accurately.

    So that nutty Islamic cleric in Saudi who says the world is flat, is correct!

    Is he nutty or are we being lied to....mmmmmm.........We can only go on what the powers to be tell us....and if they tell the same lie at some point in history it comes to the point whereby the majority start believing it to be true....

    Just look down the road at the pigs they believe the lie thats been told for years, when the proclaim that they are massive....

    I rest my case....lol
