Is The Universe A Hologram?

[@salujathustra9905]

David Bohm pioneered this idea, though he was highly overlooked by the physics community for having a voice of his own.

[@dinofrangiamore]

You're absolutely right, and Bohm is still not getting the credit he deserves, not only as the foremost pioneer in the territory of holographic reality, but as one of the greatest thinkers of the 20th Century, not to mention his ballsy activism as a political exile for refusing to be a narc in the HUAC witch hunt.

We do not know what is on “the other side” of a black hole. For all we know, it could be a much better world, certainly better than a world where it is possible to be shriveled up with ALS, cooped up in a wheelchair, having to be fed and bathed, and having to speak through a computer for most of your life.

I’ve watched his college lectures online. He is an excellent lecturer and speaker. Has a great sense of humor. A great And humble man!

[@wyskass861]

Susskind's point about the difficulty in explaining complex ideas of quantum based physics was very enlightening. Lowers the frustration of not understanding certain concepts even though I'm good at learning most things. The retraining of thinking in terms of mathematics from natural intuition, makes complete sense.

[@onebylandtwoifbysearunifby5475]

Yes, he is right about that. Nobody is born with understanding 4D space-time or quantum mechanics. It's an abstraction that must be built-up by effort and experience. If you do like this sort of thing, i can recommend something: Susskind put lectures on yutub for continuing education. Everything from quantum mechanics, particle physics, Relativity, to Cosmology. They go in order from Classical Mechanics on up. Very comprehensive, and only use calculus. No esoteric math. It's an amazing resource, and it's free. Search his name, the lectures are on "Stanford" channel. Just like you said: you need to spend some time immersed in it to get a better understanding. You have to get in over your head if you want to learn to swim. He does a masterful job with these lecture series. There's also the "Theoretical Minimum" series, which hits the basics of what theoretical physics is. Susskind really did society a great service putting these lectures in the public domain for all to see. I am telling you of this because you are right in your assessment of what is needed to understand the topics. You're ready. Cheers.

I have watched a couple of other presentations with Susskind. He is most aeticulate and affable, and makes physics easy to understand for the rest of us non-physicist types.

[@TheActualVimple]

Wouldn't the hologram reality be slightly delayed from the non-hologram one? You know, speed of light and all that?

[@TheGoodStuff]

Vimple You'd have to ask Dr. Susskind to be sure but I believe the interaction between the hologram and the projection is instantaneous. Probably because they're not bound by "normal" space-time. We'll probably address this in the comment/response portion of the next video.

[@sergiogarza2519]

In short, yes. Your hologram is as far as your sphere of influence which would be at the speed of light. So your birthday with the amount of time you've been alive in seconds multiplied by the speed of light would theoretically be how far your hologram is. It's a pretty genius way of getting around the information paradox.

[@TheActualVimple]

***** Neat.

[@LeeviON]

Sergio Garza As The Good Stuff said, it's actually instantaneous. :P

[@sergiogarza2519]

LeeviON ***** I study general relativity, and one rule is that nothing happens instantaneously. If the sun magically disappeared, the earth would still keep circling around until the second it became dark, because information travels at the speed of light, and the earth would fly off like letting a ball with a string go. Along with everything in the universe, information cannot instantaneously move somewhere, it has to travel there as fast as possible which would be light. That's partly the reason why we had to create inflation for cosmology for something called the horizon problem. Because the universe is so uniform, there was a paradox in which it would have been impossible for information to travel across the entire universe from one side to another and communicate that everything, density and expansion and heat, should be almost the same. Your horizon is because how far you can look into the universe, also called the observable universe because the actual universe is something like 30x bigger but we can never see it. Because information can't travel instantaneously, you have the horizon problem so they got around it with cosmic inflation.

I am one of these people who does not understand the rigirous math work but am fascinated by the answers.

[@FirstRisingSouI]

Susskind is the coolest.

[@Openminded304]

For people steeped in Vedic philosophy, this principle would not seem so weird. Science as we have known it has entirely relied on our senses and to think that reality could extend beyond our senses has not been in the realm of modern scientific beliefs. For instance, science does not bother about any notion even remotely related to post-life issues but that does not mean those issues are irrelevant.

Some topics in physics really deserve a big red label "we can't really explain it without math". Right now there are probably millions of laymen running around saying and thinking that everything is a hologram, without understanding anything about the topic at all. I'm sure the explanation somehow aligns with math, but for those who don't understand the math involved, the explanation given doesn't really explain anything at all, you don't come out the other end understanding more about the universe. Quite possible that you are more confused and actually understand less. Some things can be explained without math, some can't and should be left at that.

So if our three dimensional reality is a hologram projection at the event horizon of a singularity or black hole, filled with information from higher dimensions, it is interesting to think about the nature of our conciousness from that perspective. The incomprehensible subjective experience as a projected, granular artefact of a higher principle of conciousness.

[@johnallen2771]

As a person who believes that he is God I like the idea of contemplating myself from different dimensions. Since I am God and the whole universe and everything in it I know that there is no past and no future, only the now. A series of nows, a life, death, rebirth and then it starts all over again. Or maybe you get off the wheel and stay in the Godhead and learn, grow. The only constant is change.

Wait. so. black holes are super dense. so why doesn't all the atoms from the stuff sucked in just stay at the black hole but just really hardly packed?

[@TheGoodStuff]

+John Matthews They do for a while, but what Stephen Hawking discovered was that black holes slowly evaporate until they eventually disappear. This is called Hawking radiation. Originally Hawking's theory implied that all the information is lost as the black hole evaporates. The holographic principle is sort of a work around solution to that problem.

[@twitchraidsforthewin6017]

well his analogy is somewhat incorect. information is basically could you tell what fell into a black hole? on the event horizon photons continuously orbit at escape velocity. so you would continously see two dimensional cross sections of . there is no way of saying that an exact replica of you is created. you could tell which matter has entered by the energy of the photons etc.... it's like saying a life sized poster is a replica of you. black holes are so dense that they warp space time so much that it folds in on itself. because you can't pack that much matter down to a pin head. you yourself are even 95% empty space the space between the electrons and nucleus the nuclei are practically empty except for quarks and they are practically empty. even 95 % empty isn't enough to account for the density of a black hole but it folds space time into multiple layers, so you can fit more matter into a visibly smaller space.

Many people say we are not necessarily limited to our '3D-neurological-wiring, and, that there is another way to apperceive the higher reality (the source of this hologram), other than mathematics (which is also valid). The first person I know of to get the idea of the holographic nature of this 'reality' out to the public, was Michael Talbot, in his book: "The Holographic Universe" - in which he quotes scientists from many different fields (not just quantum physicists), including neurologists. He also quotes many studies by leading universities on: out of body experiences, near death experiences, remote viewing and others who are able to see a higher level of reality - to directly tune in to the vibrations that are the basis of all mass. He first published that book in 1991.

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.

"Through evolution, the neural wiring that we inherited was not built for quantum mechanics. It was not built for higher dimensions. It was not built for thinking about curved space-time.

In fact it's so wild that to even function in everyday life, we all have to apply a shroud of mundanity to the whole thing. Some people are TOO good at this and they end up seeing biology and existence as something mundane. I'm afraid you've fallen into that trap. I'm not saying the the opposite, ultra hippy view is much better. There has to be a balance, and for me, that balance still gives room for awe.

Yes it is. We call it a "virtual reality". Good job. Keep going.😊

Funny thing is, us who have gone deep enough with psychedelics already know what the universe is and what reality is. While scientists waste their life chasing a measurement from the observers perspective.

[@ominous-omnipresent-they]

@@fridjon13 So, where are your contributions to science then? Where are your particle accelerators and space agencies? You clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

I will say this is probably one of the best most straightforward descriptions of the holographic principle, I only wish you would have related more to quantom phenomenon and the maths behind it

Remember! The reality is a illusion, the universe is a hologram buy gold bye!

nhaar Not so fast here's something which I think it's impossible, ready here we go if were living in the simulation how do we know? how do we know if the person outside of the multi-simulation is real? what if the Aliens or humans who are running the multi-simulation realize that they are part of someone else’s multi-simulation and then the next one and the next one and the next one and the next one? we don’t even know if this could be a possibly that we’re living in a simulation, because we will never know who is our true creator because it’s impossible to know if he or she or thing is real or not, because How do we know if the person outside the multi-simulation could be real? how do we know if they’re not part of someone else’s multi-simulation, so therefore it be impossible for us to be living in a simulation, either if humans or aliens are simulating us or where being simulated while we’re playing a game, how do we know if where in a multi-simulation, if the person outside of the multi-simulation is not part of someone else’s multi-simulation, How do we know if it’s true, how is it possible, we will never know? That's why I think it’s impossible for us to know if we’re living in a simulation, because our creator can't be created out of nothing, even if there's people from other dimensions then what are the odds that they don't know if they are part of simulation, now people said that someone or something who made the simulation is coding this so he would want us to think that way, but how do we know that the person who is coding this, how do we know if he's not being coded as well, for the people who are seeing glitches in real life. In my opinion it's either demons or aliens who can break the laws of physics in our world, the devil can sometimes trick your mind into thinking reality isn't real or aliens can do the same,

[@DeathBringer769]

Reality being a hologram projected onto a 2D surface, for us, wouldn't actually make anything less meaningful or less "real" to us in any significant sense worth worrying about, in my opinion. (Yea, I know, Gravity Falls reference.)

Easy.......... look at a video game. you are playing in the center of the screen. as you move your characters to the left all the other characters seem to go to the right until they are off of the screen. If you keep going to the left the characters will go so far right there will be very little or no computer resources dedicated to that character. It would be standing in limbo with no background. Now lets take you. You know people who know people. If you walk or drive somewhere where you are away from interacting with any person you might notice that your surroundings are breaking down and will eventually look like the Holosuite on star trek the next generation, just a grid pattern. I have had this happen to me twice and I have had a car drive right through me at an intersection at 3AM on a tuesday night. There wasn't even wind that morning. Many people have seen ghost trains and had real trains drive right through their cars without injury. The computer program is breaking down at it's outermost edges.

Thanks for the nice video. Prof. Susskind reminded us that our brains were built up for 3D world. Nowadays, in several educational systems, visualization is emphasized for kids to learn. However, to understand the world of higher dimension, we need abstraction, the understanding through abstract mathematics.

[@daultonbaird6314]

Every time I see the Suss I think of George Carlin . Anyone else ?

[@sansha2687]

Most of us are not wired to experience 4d, 5d but only for 3d, based on classical physics, what a man Susskind is , I was always a quantum physicist, is a killing statement from him. Amazing Human. Interviewers are really Good Stuff, thanks for this beautiful interview.

[@cozmoruckaz]

"our brains were not built for higher dimensional space" hahaha Id like to see him say that after smoking DMT.

[@TheTrueNecronus]

DMT smokers have no brains.

Keep doing DMT and PCP and study physics, you'll figure it out.

Why was information inside a Black hole considered lost or destroyed, but not simply trapped?

[@DoctorZisIN]

Here we are just 2 years later and now they're saying that the universe is a computer simulation, rather than a holographic projection. He was right about surprises.

[@21972012145525]

So it’s not a holographic thing?

[@movieninja4034]

The term 'hologram' is utterly inadequate. Another dude mentioned the word 'manifest'. He explained it as 5+ dimensional space either manifesting itself as 4 dimensions or we only perceive the 4 dimensions, 3 physical and 1 time. It is this 'manifestation' that we perceive as the projection of the elemental nature from the 5+ dimensional space. Forget the hologram!

[@theophilus749]

As a non-physicist trying to understand such things I have a question or two. The statement is: *"Information (distinctions between states) is lost when it gets trapped in a black hole"* But this seems ambiguous. It could mean either: (a) "Information (distinctions between states) is _lost to us_ when it gets trapped in a black hole but continues to exist _inside_ the black hole" _or_ (b) "Information (distinctions between states) _ceases to exist altogether_ when it gets trapped in a black hole." Now my questions: 1. Which of these, (a) or (b) is meant? 2. Would it only be only under (b) that we have a problem that Susskind addresses? (Because under (a) there is no absolute loss, only loss with respect to us. Can anyone out there help?

[@Q--ut5ky]

Information appears scrambled to the external observer. The guy passing the horizon feels fine and experiences life as usual (until they hit the singularity) because they are "projected" on to the interior of the black hole. The compressed information on the boundary of the BH (the hologram) is all the external observer can see. You might want to look into the AdS-CFT correspondence if you really want to go deeper into this.
