Editing, for me, is problem solving. The Holographic Principle is such a heady idea that it demands visual content that’s easy to follow and comprehend. Hopefully I was able to achieve that here. One of the things that always helps me to understand complex ideas is the language of popular culture. It’s something we all share, and in that way it can serve to ground abstractions in common mental anchors. Hence the use of McConnaughey. Who is more of a mental anchor these days than McConnaughey?!
If you want to learn more about the holographic principle, I highly recommend watching this lecture by Leonard Susskind:

[@Hecatonicosachoron]

A few corrections are necessary: (1) 'Erasing files' is not why "laptops get hot". The amount of heat released from changing the state of the memory is miniscule compared to, say, the resistive heating of the wires which have no influence any particular state of the memory or the processor. (2) The Bekenstein entropy solved a different paradox than the now-famous "black hole information paradox". These are two completely different ideas (the former was older, concerned entirely classical general relativity and its apparent inconsistencies with thermodynamics and kicked off the field of black hole thermodynamics; the second is an inconsistency with the unitarity of quantum mechanics). They should not be confused. (3) The holographic principle, even if true, does not necessitate that a lower-dimensional hologram is a physical reality. The holographic principle is a duality between two descriptions, which are deemed to be mathematically equivalent. But, for example, we could say that coin flips are mathematically equivalent to flicking light switches, but that does not imply that switches are coins. Sure, the correspondence is not just between the physical states in two theories, but between more developed mathematical structures. But, still, the physical implications are the same. Even if true, holography does not imply that there must exist a physical boundary for the universe. And it is still quite speculative.

[@jesselee2549]

[@vinzer72frie]

You're wrong on number 3 it is absolutely the other way around, numbers show that these lower and higher dimensions are physical quite the contrary to speculation, people are who refuse to believe it is real until observed

[@giovannilacala8003]

+Nerdwriter1 subscribed man. It's still difficult to comprehend, but from what I got from the video, black holes aren't places, but the lack of a place. They are "places" in the universe where the fabric of space/time just cease to exist, like a hole in a trampoline. So when someone enters that whole from an outside observer, they never fall in, they simply stay on the event horizon in a 2d fashion. That's some beautiful stuff to think about

[@JamaicaSugar]

+Giovanni Lacala But the event horizon would keep pulling you towards the center, eventually down to the singularity, after an incomprehensibly long time, and at the singularity is the birthing of a 2 dimensional universe. From what I understand our 3D universe was birthed from the matter in a 4D black hole's singularity.

[@HungerGamesFan88]

At least you can't feel yourself stretching and crushing to death. Gotta be nice.

[@circuitboardsushi]

The singularity doesn't exist. Nothing beyond the event horizon exist, though you wouldn't know that if you fell in. As far as everyone else is concerned you can never make it beyond the event horizon. From your perspective you fell in; but actually you are still on the surface; but with all the info that makes you, you, encoded in a 2D on the event horizon.

[@RialVestro]

It sounds like you're saying that things going threw a black hole aren't actually being ripped apart, it just appears that they are from outside of the black hole. In other words we could actually travel safely threw black holes. However we have tried to send camera threw them before and were never able to recover anything. That's how we know they are being ripped apart. Though the idea that there's nothing on the other side is a complete assumption on our part. I think they do go some where but because there's no safe way to travel threw them everything on the other side would be ripped apart beyond any recognition. I don't think anything could be completely destroyed even by a black hole though as already pointed out there's no way to prove it one way or another.

[@GH-om5rp]

[@EveBatStudios]

Just deleting things on your computer only unallocates the space on the disk where that information is. That's why data recovery works if the space hasn't been overwritten

[@Kevalalalalalalalala]

Curio Fawkstrawt then how do you explain my pc getting so hot?!?!?!??!

[@EveBatStudios]

I'm not sure why you think that has something to do with unallocating disk space as opposed to overwriting data. It's not like it throws the data into an incinerator on your computer.

[@icemd24]

Curio Fawkstrawt xDDDDDD

[@bassbrothaUG]

+Kevalalalalalalalala Your PC gets hot because certain components of your computer need to heat up to function. Your processor, memory and even things like your disk drive require electricity to work. In order to work properly, some of this electricity needs to be "resisted", which essentially means certain components of your computer need to convert electricity into heat. This is why when you run high demanding programs (video games, math intensive software) your computer gets really hot as opposed to idling. This video was great but the fact that deleted data turns into heat is completely false. Curio is right in this case, it becomes "un-allocated"; marked as deleted through certain code and "available" to overwrite on your computer. This is why it is REAL important to wipe your hard drive when you throw out your old computers, not just delete everything. However, since the writer of this video is from a non-technical background, I still think that he did an excellent job with his video and he should strive to extend his own and audiences base of knowledge. I still learned tons of new things and greatly enjoyed it. Cheers

[@TheLivirus]

+Curio Fawkstrawt So the information about where the information is stored is _destroyed_?

[@KeshArt]

Thank you for the AMAZING content you provide.you sir...are awesome

[@Davideos]

Awesome video!! (The stereogram in 3:00 is not a castle. It is a ghost in the middle with 2 knites in either side)

[@jeremnis]

Trueew

[@smithmwk]

Perhaps I'm missing the point, but what exactly do you mean by the word "information"? I get that the interplay between energy and mass can never be destroyed, but my concept of "information" is a specific organization of matter, conveying an idea that is only relevant in the context of being understood by someone. In this sense, when you delete that file and the bits are randomized, some electric charge being dissipated as heat, the information is very much destroyed. This is in the same sense that if I threw my computer into the sun, the dispersed atoms would no longer constitute a computer.

[@rorybyrne86]

+Mackenzie Smith If I understand it correctly, it's referencing "physical information" and more specifically "information theory". Information carried by a wave function or quantum wave. In a very basic sense the information carried by the wave/s would describe the particles that made up your laptop as still existing and the arrangement that they currently exist in. They may not exist as a "computer" but they still exist. Sean Carroll described it like this: “Imagine that … you throw a book onto an open fire. Later, you worry that you might have been a bit hasty, and you want to get the book back. Too bad, it’s already been burnt into ashes. But the laws of physics tell us that all the information contained in the book is still available in principle, no matter how hard it might be to reconstruct in practice. The burning book evolved into a very particular arrangement of ashes and light and heat; if we could exactly capture the complete microstate of the universe after the fire, we could theoretically run the clock backwards and figure out whether the book that had burned was this one or [another]. That’s very theoretical , because the entropy increased by a large amount along the way, but in principle it could happen.”

[@dixonbuttes]

Yes Rory is correct in his explanation. This is how it's explained by Leonard himself as well

[@012stactic]

Hi Mackenzie I believe this is very much related to entropy which comes under second law of thermodynamics, for example in the case of information say the word document that you created, had organised particles that enabled into exist for example the Kbs or mb, when you delete this the information simply changes form from an organised particles such as your kb or mb to a more disorganised which the memory released from your pc in form of free space. this is alot similar to an ice cube and a glass of water. A glass of water has high entropy due to molecues being in a state of dissary and disorganised where as an ice cube will have frozen molecues which is low in entropy once the ice cube melts it will increase in entropy, and therefore from organised becomes disorganised. Hope this forms a better understanding of information paradox

[@yggysquirrel2446]

umm but isnt the "information" of every single particle infinite? as in it can have an infinite amount of positions in a given space??

[@NoR3m0rs3]

Information = matter

[@Nerdwriter1]

[@thekylemarshall_]

Your videos are always worth a watch. Thanks for making great content ... even when I feel I'm out of my depth with the subject matter.

[@SloeElvis]

correction: The information you erase from a computer *is* gone. It doesn't "turn into heat". You simply tell your reliable storage (HDD, or SSD nowadays) that the bits that stored that file are now free to be written by anything else. They'll eventually get replaced by other information. So yes, the memory that stores that information does not change, or go away. But information is abstract enough that it *can* disappear into nothingness.

[@RoboBoddicker]

Yes and no. He's talking about information in the physics sense, which is a much more fundamental concept than just the digital information stored in your computer. You're right that a deleted file doesn't just immediately turn into heat. But overwriting the file requires a distinct change in energy in the system, and that energy is then transferred to the surrounding atoms in the computer and in the air. But if you had precise knowledge and control of all those small energy changes in the drive and in the surrounding atoms, then you could theoretically recreate the deleted data. That's what he means by information being conserved. The physical information about that particular state of your computer can't be fundamentally destroyed - like energy, it can only disperse and change forms. The difference with black holes is that the Hawking radiation particles don't seem to have any link to the matter that fell into the black hole. So unlike those deleted files, there doesn't seem to be any way to recreate the infalling matter from the Hawking radiation.

2:20 Nope, he was not thrown into a black hole. Instead, he was drawn towards the black hole, Gargantua, after separating from Amelia and the Endurance. He never actually enters the black hole; as he is in an interminable freefall, he is getting closer and closer to the event horizon, and the forces become so great that he is forced to eject from his Ranger, which instantly crushes. In that moment, he is moved by the Fifth Dimension Humans (FDHs) into their Tesseract. This is a rescue action. “How did he start communicating with his own daughter in the past when he was in the black hole?” Having been moved from the black hole into the Tesseract, Cooper is presented with an endless array of 3-dimensional “snapshots” of Murph’s past as it relates to Cooper. Notice, there are no snapshots of Murph in the current time, only as she is a young girl prior to Cooper’s departure. As Cooper views these snapshots, he realizes that he can affect things in them by using the one thing common to all of them - gravity (which transcends all dimensions). So, pressing on books that were teetering, he’s able to cause them to fall, which alerts Murph’s notice. Later, by altering how sand falls, he’s able to give the coordinates to the NASA facility. Last, he gets the inspired idea to convey the quantum data to Murph through the one thing that is dynamic across time and gravity, and that Murph would be sure to keep - the wristwatch. The FDHs could not communicate with Murph (or humanity in that time) because they could not identify an object that they could affect and that someone (Murph) would keep across time. Because of Cooper and Murph’s relationship - built on love - that wristwatch was (almost) guaranteed to be in front of Murph; and, it is a dynamic object, in that it is in motion, and can have its inner works manipulated by gravity in a way that Murph would understand - Morse code. It is very important to point out, though, this is happening inside the Tesseract; not, I repeat, not in the black hole _The comment is actually based on Max Steiner’s reply from Quora on the question _*_In “Interstellar,” how did Cooper survive after being thrown into a black hole? How did he end up in the hospital bed? How did he start communicating with his own daughter in the past when he was in the black hole?_*

I'd love if you did one on the simulation hypothesis. This was an amazing video.

[@radicalaceshasbrin5802]

When you delete a file, the pointer that allows you to access the file is no longer stored, the data is still there. You will over time re use this memory as you use your computer for other things. Data isn't tangible, it's simply the ability to or not to travel down a certain path. Information in that sense can be destroyed because it simply refers to how you are using 0s and 1s. Just because you change an 8 bit value to all 0s doesn't mean you lost memory, it means you changed it.

In the stereogram at 3:10, I see two knights and a sort of ghostly woman. The knight on the left holds his sword downward while the knight on the right is holding it up and to the right. The woman ghost thing is in the middle, and has long hair, but no real body and appears to be floating with tattered cloth hanging in the air below her, slightly to the right. I saw it by crossing my eyes until the image resolved. You can also see the negative (depth is switched, with the figures in the back and the normal background in the foreground) by focusing your eyes at infinity.

[@stevoofd]

3:05, if you look slightly cross eyed in the bottom left direction, you will see a knight appear on the left, and if you then look at the entire picture, a knight on the right as well, and what I assume is a flying angel in the middle. Normally paper stereograms don’t work for me, but this one really pops out, and if you move the screen those 3 figures will appear to parallax against the background wall. Very entertaining!

[@lightspeed6302]

[@maeva5257]

I love how you made it graphic! To complete this theory : The reason why we don't see the world as a hologram is because inside of a black hole, the quanta of space (gravitational field) does not form the dense webs that we call space. We can't see things where there is no space. (It doesn't mean that nothing happens though.) So entropy (basically the evolution of the movements of a system) visually translates only where there are gravitational particles (quanta or granular space). They appear to us as if they were on the same "layer", but only because of the great areas between them that separate them from each other. It's like superimposing multiple canvas which would have many holes in them and of which the remaining areas would be painted. It would look just like the painting in this video. Like a hologram. But anywhere aside from the inside of a black hole, space webs are fully formed. We are surrounded by a myriad of holograms, superimposed in every possible way, covering every point in the space. And this appears to us as a 3D image. The reason why their superposition seems so smooth to the human eye is only because we fail to distinguish every fragment of the evolution of entropy at its microscopic scale. And that's where the notion of time comes from. Time is only a blurred perception of the nature of the world. So basically, we are a myriad of holograms.

Information is stored as electrical bits on computer. Info gets deleted. Electrical bits on computer therefore get switched off. Therefore, the "switching off" creates heat. The information gets turned into heat. The end.

[@LeahLaushway]

That'sWhatSheSaid The principles of Physics describes how an object can be in two different states (or more, theoretically) at once. It's possible that what we perceive in our daily existence within this universe can similarly be viewed as being in a completely different state than how we'd describe it.

Do you use some software to improve your vocal range? I can hear the deep notes go deeper, especially at the start.

[@Squidkidde]

+PSNnightmare What you're probably hearing is what's known in the audio world as the "proximity effect". It's a function of microphone design and effects pretty much all non-omni microphones. As the sound source gets closer to the microphone there is non-linear increase in bass (low frequency) response. Radio announcers have utilized this effect for years to make their voices bigger, more resonant and to lend gravitas.

[@josejerez4954]

So what you are saying is that a hard drive storage capacity is equal to its space? So why does memory get smaller every year? It may sound like a dumb question but definitely interested in the answer. If you give me answer like we get more efficient at putting information in to smaller spaces, then doesnt that contradict the first notion?

I am confused about the Entropy = hidden information thing. From what i had gathered entropy is the measurement of the multiplicity of a system so basically the amount of ways it could be configured. How is more possible configurations of a system information? If anything it's lost information since you know less about how the system is actually configured.

Okay, first of all laptops don't get hot because information that is deleted is turning into heat. Ugh... Secondly, anyone who knows how a hard drive works knows that files don't actually disappear when deleted, but are eventually "written over" by new files. Even completely "wiping" a hard drive only smooths out the small, sequential transitions in the magnetization of the platters that "created" the data in the first place.

About those files in your computer, actually they can't be deleted, with the right software you can get them back, they can only be replaced by other digital information, and still then, some of that old information is going to remain there for many years.

I miss your original background music, like the one that plays in this video. I still love your new stuff, but I thoroughly enjoyed your older ones. They contained your heart, soul, and felt like, no matter what the subject matter, that you would always tie it into our human morality and on what genuinely makes the human species beautiful (even though we can be so very ugly at times). I digress, basically I would love if you utilized your old bg music in some way shape or form in your newer videos. :)

I have no idea what any of this means, but it sounds amazing.

[@tupacpalomeque]

Great Video!

When you said we would see them get shredded in the black hole that's not true. We would actually see them get closer and closer more slowly until they seem to stop. This is due to time distortion.

Love your contents ❤️ Love from Bhutan 🇧🇹

[@bharathrajgovind5146]

why are your videos so perfect?

[@SzczesliwyCzlowiek]

During my engineering studies I was that told information is basically a signal... but what do you mean byinformation here? It's not very clear to me. Please explain it further.

[@lunjemersic]

I have no idea why you're not bigger than you are atm. Great video dude.

[@allyi302]

This is absolutely fantastic. Thank you :)

Fascinating! Subscriber earned.

The heat that computers produce is from the processor units in the most part, information on a computer is just an arrangement of magnetic patterns in the disk. I believe information (or at least the text file) can be destroyed, given that it exists only as a pattern on the disk, and the disk before and after the file is the same.

Black holes dont radiate 'superhot energy', unless they are extremely small. The temperature of the (admittedly, super-massive) black hole at the center of this galaxy is about 1.5 *10^-14 kelvin. This is why black holes haven't been observed directly (afaik), their radiation is far lower than the background radiation of the universe.

[@a.bizzle9699]

If a black hole evaporates, there is still a transfer of energy right? The information is just changing and not disappearing right?

The moon is a cold light holographic projector. The cold projection rushing towards the heat projection is what causes tides to happen. To view the different layers of the fractaled holographic projection you can use the same vision needed for stereograms/ stereoscopic illusions. That ability is not only for novelty.

[@elvisaguero9976]

Amazing video.

[@asderc1]

Damn, I can only watch half the video to avoid Interstellar spoilers.

[@Nerdwriter1]

***** I think so too.

[@xSkitZx]

***** I know I'm pretty late here but it's kind of the big 'oh shit' moment, so in that case it's not that safe.

Think of the surface being the fixed points on a grid. At tangible locations you can return coordinates and retrieve the information that is being held at that point. The space between the the integral positions on the grid can be considered the void. In this fractured space, you only have potential information that can only exist in an imaginary plane. Also, when you "delete" a file on your hard drive, the space it occupies on the disk doesn't actually get erased. Simply, the operating system is now given permission to write over that sector of disk with new information.

Having spent three hours at the library doing research, I decided to head home for lunch. On Jan. 17, 2000, at 2 pm, while crossing a river bridge in Burswood (Perth, Australia) on my bicycle, I observed a velvet-textured beige pearl covering the sun. Within the entity, there were containers in the shape of elongated, seven-pointed Koch snowflake fractal crystals immersed in a white misty light travelling in a ten o'clock direction. I later considered that the light flashes on the inner space of the crystals might be of a binary language conversion pertaining to the senses of all mortals, that is, a holographic universe.

Holographic principle works with Fourier series as transverse waves strings and on water surface, every wave represents some matter gases have very low frequency, liquids middle and solids have geometrical structure and very high frequency, and eather is media Fourier superposition principle gives interaction between strings and brains as lens where by emerging of consciousness allows to understand surrounding world.
