(.#345).- German researchers would have the proof, the Universe, a hologram?
German researchers could hold proof that the universe is a hologram
January 11, 2012.
Go get your protective hat, because you are going to need it. German scientists have tried to understand why their gravitational wave measurement equipment has this particular sound. They discovered that one of the possible answers is that the whole universe is a holographic illusion:
For many months, the GEO600 team members have been scratching their heads at the inexplicable noise in their giant detector
But a researcher is approaching an explanation, and it is amazing. He even predicted the noise before it was detected.
According to Craig Hogan, a physicist at Fermilab Laboratory in Batavia, Illinois, and a specialist in particle physics, GEO600 has stumbled on the fundamental limit of space-time - to the point where space-time is stops and dissolves into grains as Einstein describes it, just as a newspaper photo dissolves into grain when you zoom in - GEO600 has been shaken by the microscopic convulsions of space-time, "explains Hogan.
If that does not blow your socks!
Hogan who has just been appointed director of the Center of Astrophysics of Fermilab, to continue:
"If the results on the GEO600 are true, then we are all living in a giant cosmic hologram. "
The idea that we live in a hologram is absurd at first glance, but it is a natural extension of our better understanding of black holes.
The holograms you find on credit cards and banknotes are engraved on two-dimensional plastic films. When light bounces off of them, it recreates the appearance of a 3D image. In the 1990s physicists Leonard Susskind and Nobel laureate Gerard 't Hooft suggested that the same principle could apply to the universe. Our daily experience could be in itself a holographic projection of physical process that takes place over a distance, 2D surface.
GEO600?
The GEO600 interferometer is a German-British interferometer project of the Michelson type, built near Hanover Germany.
It is intended to detect any gravitational waves whose passage would be likely to modify in a minute manner the length of the arms of the interferometer. In order to increase the length of these arms, two cavities of the Fabry-Perot type are used in each arm.
The observation of gravitational waves is intended to significantly supplement the observation of electromagnetic waves (light waves, radio and microwaves, gamma and X rays) as well as astro particles (cosmic rays, neutrinos). Their study reveals hitherto unknown aspects of the universe and extends the field of observation into regions darkened by dust and masked by other phenomena.
