Holographic Universe

Dirty Pearl

Theoretical results about the Universe suggests that we, like holograms, are made of matter and energy. One may say that from the Universe's quantum physics (black hole theory) perspective.. we 'are' in theory 'holograms' with spacial depth.

 

Hologram

The term is taken from the Greek words holos (whole) and gramma (message or letter).

Unlike 3-D or virtual reality on a two-dimensional computer display, a hologram is a truly three-dimensional and free-standing image.

Theoretically, holograms could someday be transmitted electronically to a special display device in our home.

 

The theory of holography was developed over 60 years ago by inventor Dennis Gabor in the year 1947.

The recent development of laser technology made holography possible.
