The Holographic Nature of Reality

[link to www.worldlingo.com]

wow, I must be really creative then since I dreamed up this GLP reality and all you other posters to play with!

seriously dude, read the holographic universe by Michael Talbot.

one little piece of a hologram contains the whole image, so we are all a part of everything.

good stuff.

there is this experiment at the science center where I live

picture a large container at the top holding thousands of ball bearings and 10-12 slots below where the ball bearings can flow into. You are instructed to focus on just one slot and release the ball bearings w a simple lever. Inevitably the ball bearings will all flow into the slot you are focusing on.

interesting, no?

"The ancients knew this truth but did not use the term holographic but instead used the term Maya, meaning illusion. All that we are and see is not real, but only appears real. Science and ancient wisdom is meeting, and this is causing waves of change to sweep over human perception, as the One Mind behind the hologram emerges."

This is a good point Tree Hugger! However, in some fairly recent experiences of mine I've seen that I've had to remind myself that cosmic mind is cosmic maya yet mind in itself is trivial when you are experiencing a reality otherwise we would just be a 'only a video game' and to me that would be trivializing life itself. The power to self-create is something unique that we have also.

>>Of course many scientists are dragging their feet in regards the holographic nature of the universe...


Well, that *is* the coverup, isn't it?

As long as everyone is dumbed down, and uninformed then we'll never know what we are truly capable of achieving.

I think it's called 'scientific fascism'. It's been part of our daily lives for centuries/millenia.

If 'science' were to ever accept the holographic universe as a new paradigm, we'd be living in a very different reality. That's why it won't happen in our lifetimes. (Or your grandkids, either).

Thank you ACs for both of you seemed well versed on this subject.....and for the link.....peace to you both



Hello Nummo :)

I am not at the point of seeing this as a video game even if I have used the analogy but only to illustrate the levels and the illusion. To those in the illusion is it very real, extremely so. It has to be. Without that reality, it would have no value to the mind,body,spirit complex. But those who see the illusion have completed the game and can now see it for what it is.....blessings to you

Cut a holographic image in pieces and you don’t get the image split into many, but many tiny replicas of the entire whole.

> Yes, but the tiny images don't contain all of the information.

Break apart a hologram lets say into two pieces, one left, one right. The fragment from the left will contain an image of the object, true, but only from the left hand angles, the right vice-versa.

But this doesn't say anything at all, does it? :)

Peace and rock on, Tree

a beautiful post TreeHugger....the very act of recognizing the Hologram for what it is will be the most important discovery that our civilization could make....perhaps the Maya(n) calendar pivot point of 2012 will be the key to it's understanding

Thank you very much Cosmic Trigger....I always prefer being precise......love to you

Holo James

I was searching for information on research about how humans think in holographic images also but decided to post this much here.......I agree very much with you and I wait and watch with you.......blessings of light to you

Actually, Tree, i hate to be picky. It was just the other day that I talked to my fatherr about this and he told me that the information on the fragments is slightly different and well.. incomplete...

But I think the hologram as model for the universe isn't enough. In fact everything is more connected and one than we can imagine with our minds. We're all relatives for instance. Even more, we are all cells in one organism. Even further every particle in the universe is in fact the same particle. Oh, feels good to be so close to each other =D

"To those in the illusion is it very real, extremely so".

That is so utterly true it is hilarious!

Peace to you as well...

"Even further, every particle in the universe is in fact the same particle".

Is this not the ultimate theoretical end point of the the holographic nature of reality?

Hello Halo James

I have seen it from both sides so I know and I see you do also........blessings to your journey

I'm quite certain I've read it before...

You didn't happen to cut & paste it from anywhere, did ya Tree?

Hello AC
Thank you I did like it



Hello again Ace
Well of course the basic research is widely distributed and I found about ten sites with holographic information I had to put together but none of this is out of thin air but is published. In fact I want people to have their interest peaked and go on a search for themselves in areas they might not go.

Love to you Ace

The Holographic Theory is a way to eliminate one spatial dimension, which simplifies the mathematics and allows a quantum theory for gravity. The quantum effect of gravity is only relevant in quasi-singularity situations such as in the space near neutron stars or black holes or immediately after the Big Bang. This does not mean the universe is a hologram.

A Arborist

A very lovely and much appreciated piece of prose from the heart and you have a wonderful day there with the trees where you are.

Love to you and thank you



Hello AC.......yes......you found both of them...the matrix within the illusion....good for you.....and light to your path

"Hello Idol......nice to see you again......you and your doubt.....blessings to you"



It is not a doubt. I just explained what the Holographic Theory actually is.

THE UNIVERSE AS A HOLOGRAM (edited)

A hologram is a three-dimensional photograph made with the aid of a laser.

To make a hologram, the object to be photographed is first bathed in the light of a laser beam. Then a second laser beam is bounced off the reflected light of the first and the resulting interference pattern (the area where the two laser beams co-mingle) is captured on film. When the film is developed, it looks like a meaningless swirl of light and dark lines. But as soon as the developed film is illuminated by another laser beam, a three-dimensional image of the original object appears.

The three dimensionality of such images is not the only remarkable characteristic of holograms. If a hologram of a rose is cut in half and then illuminated by a laser, each half will still be found to contain the entire image of a rose. Indeed if the halves are divided again, each snippet of film will always be found to contain a smaller but intact version of the original image. Unlike normal photographs, every part of a hologram contains all the information possessed by the whole.
The "whole in every part nature of a hologram provides us with an entirely new way of understanding organization and order.

For most of its history, Western science has laboured under the bias that the best way to understand a physical phenomenon, whether a frog or an atom, is to dissect it and study its respective parts. A hologram teaches us that some things in the Universe may not lend themselves to this approach. If we try to take apart something constructed holographically, we will not get the pieces of which it is made; we will only get smaller wholes.

This insight suggested to Bohm another way of understanding Aspect's discovery. Bohm believes the reason subatomic particles are able to remaining contact with one another regardless of the distance separating them is not because they are sending some sort of mysterious signal back and forth, but because their separateness is an illusion. He argues that at some deeper level of reality such particles are not individual entities, but are actually extensions of the same fundamental something.

To enable people to better visualize what he means, Bohm offers the following illustration. Imagine an aquarium containing a fish. Imagine also that you are unable to see the aquarium directly and your knowledge about it and what it contains comes from two television cameras, one directed at the aquarium's front and the other directed at its side. As you stare at the two television monitors, you might assume that the fish on each of the screens are separate entities. After all, because the cameras are set at different angles, each of the images will be slightly different.

But as you continue to watch the two fish, you will eventually become aware that there is a certain relationship between them. When one turns, the other also makes a slightly different but corresponding turn, when one faces the front the other always faces toward the side. If you remain unaware of the full scope of the situation, you might even conclude that the fish must be instantaneously communicating with one another, but this is clearly not the case.

This, says Bohm, is precisely what is going on between the subatomic particles in Aspect's experiment. According to Bohm, the apparent faster-than-light connection between subatomic particles is really telling us that there is a deeper level of reality we are not privy to, a more complex dimension beyond our own that is analogous to the aquarium. And, he adds, we view objects such as subatomic particles as separate from one another because we are seeing only a portion of their reality.

Such particles are not separate "parts", but facets of a deeper and more underlying unity that is ultimately as holographic and indivisible as the previously mentioned rose. And since everything in physical reality is comprised of those "eidolons" the Universe is itself a projection, a hologram.

In addition to the phantom like nature, such a Universe would possess other rather startling features. If the apparent separateness of subatomic particles is illusory, it means that at a deeper level of reality all things in the Universe are infinitely interconnected. The electrons in a carbon atom in the human brain are connected to the subatomic particles that comprise every salmon that swims, every heart that beats and every star that shimmers in the sky.

Everything interpenetrates everything, and although human nature may seek to categorize and pigeonhole and subdivide, the various phenomena of the Universe, all apportionments are of necessity artificial and all of nature is ultimately a seamless web.

In a holographic Universe, even time and space could no loner be viewed as fundamentals. Because concepts such as location break down in a universe in which nothing is truly separate from everything else, time and three-dimensional space, like the images of the fish on the TV monitors, would also have to be viewed as projections of this higher order.

At its deeper level reality is a sort of super hologram in which the past, present and future all exist simultaneously. This suggests that given the proper tools it might even be possible to someday reach into the superholographic level of reality and pluck out scenes from the long forgotten past.

What else the superhologram contains is an open-ended question. Allowing, for the sake of argument, that the superhologram is the matrix that has given birth to everything else in the Universe, at the very least it contains every subatomic particle that has been or ever will be - every configuration of matter and energy that is possible, from snowflakes to quasars, from blue whales to gamma rays. It must be seen as a sort of cosmic storehouse of "All That Is."

Although Bohm concedes that we have no way of knowing what else might lie hidden in the superhologram, he does venture to say that we have no reason to assume it does not contain more. Or as he puts it, perhaps the superholographic level of reality is a "mere stage" beyond which lies "an infinity of further development". Bohm is not the only researcher who has found evidence that the Universe is a hologram. Working independently in the field of brain research, Standford neurophysiologist Karl Pribram has also become persuaded of the holographic nature of reality.

The Entropy of a Black Hole

The Entropy of a Black Hole is proportional to the area of its event horizon, the surface within which even light cannot escape the gravity of the hole. Specifically, a hole with a horizon spanning A Planck areas has A/4 units of entropy. (The Planck area, approximately 10-66 square centimeter, is the fundamental quantum unit of area determined by the strength of gravity, the speed of light and the size of quanta.) Considered as information, it is as if the entropy were written on the event horizon, with each bit (each digital 1 or 0) corresponding to four Planck areas.

A Tale of Two Entropies

Formal information theory originated in seminal 1948 papers by American applied mathematician Claude E. Shannon, who introduced today's most widely used measure of information content: entropy. Entropy had long been a central concept of thermodynamics, the branch of physics dealing with heat. Thermodynamic entropy is popularly described as the disorder in a physical system. In 1877 Austrian physicist Ludwig Boltzmann characterized it more precisely in terms of the number of distinct microscopic states that the particles composing a chunk of matter could be in while still looking like the same macroscopic chunk of matter. For example, for the air in the room around you, one would count all the ways that the individual gas molecules could be distributed in the room and all the ways they could be moving.

When Shannon cast about for a way to quantify the information contained in, say, a message, he was led by logic to a formula with the same form as Boltzmann's. The Shannon entropy of a message is the number of binary digits, or bits, needed to encode it. Shannon's entropy does not enlighten us about the value of information, which is highly dependent on context. Yet as an objective measure of quantity of information, it has been enormously useful in science and technology. For instance, the design of every modern communications device--from cellular phones to modems to compact-disc players--relies on Shannon entropy.

Thermodynamic entropy and Shannon entropy are conceptually equivalent: the number of arrangements that are counted by Boltzmann entropy reflects the amount of Shannon information one would need to implement any particular arrangement. The two entropies have two salient differences, though. First, the thermodynamic entropy used by a chemist or a refrigeration engineer is expressed in units of energy divided by temperature, whereas the Shannon entropy used by a communications engineer is in bits, essentially dimensionless. That difference is merely a matter of convention.

Limits of Functional Density

The thermodynamics of black holes allows one to deduce limits on the density of entropy or information in various circumstances. The holographic bound defines how much information can be contained in a specified region of space. It can be derived by considering a roughly spherical distribution of matter that is contained within a surface of area A. The matter is induced to collapse to form a black hole (a). The black hole's area must be smaller than A, so its entropy must be less than A/4 [see illustration]. Because entropy cannot decrease, one infers that the original distribution of matter also must carry less than A/4 units of entropy or information. This result--that the maximum information content of a region of space is fixed by its area--defies the commonsense expectation that the capacity of a region should depend on its volume.

The universal entropy bound defines how much information can be carried by a mass m of diameter d. It is derived by imagining that a capsule of matter is engulfed by a black hole not much wider than it (b). The increase in the black hole's size places a limit on how much entropy the capsule could have contained. This limit is tighter than the holographic bound, except when the capsule is almost as dense as a black hole (in which case the two bounds are equivalent).

The holographic and universal information bounds are far beyond the data storage capacities of any current technology, and they greatly exceed the density of information on chromosomes and the thermodynamic entropy of water (c).

Even when reduced to common units, however, typical values of the two entropies differ vastly in magnitude. A silicon microchip carrying a gigabyte of data, for instance, has a Shannon entropy of about 1010 bits (one byte is eight bits), tremendously smaller than the chip's thermodynamic entropy, which is about 1023 bits at room temperature. This discrepancy occurs because the entropies are computed for different degrees of freedom. A degree of freedom is any quantity that can vary, such as a coordinate specifying a particle's location or one component of its velocity.

The Shannon entropy of the chip cares only about the overall state of each tiny transistor etched in the silicon crystal--the transistor is on or off; it is a 0 or a 1--a single binary degree of freedom. Thermodynamic entropy, in contrast, depends on the states of all the billions of atoms (and their roaming electrons) that make up each transistor. As miniaturization brings closer the day when each atom will store one bit of information for us, the useful Shannon entropy of the state-of-the-art microchip will edge closer in magnitude to its material's thermodynamic entropy. When the two entropies are calculated for the same degrees of freedom, they are equal.

What are the ultimate degrees of freedom? Atoms, after all, are made of electrons and nuclei, nuclei are agglomerations of protons and neutrons, and those in turn are composed of quarks. Many physicists today consider electrons and quarks to be excitations of superstrings, which they hypothesize to be the most fundamental entities. But the vicissitudes of a century of revelations in physics warn us not to be dogmatic. There could be more levels of structure in our universe than are dreamt of in today's physics.

One cannot calculate the ultimate information capacity of a chunk of matter or, equivalently, its true thermodynamic entropy, without knowing the nature of the ultimate constituents of matter or of the deepest level of structure, which I shall refer to as level X. (This ambiguity causes no problems in analyzing practical thermodynamics, such as that of car engines, for example, because the quarks within the atoms can be ignored--they do not change their states under the relatively benign conditions in the engine.) Given the dizzying progress in miniaturization, one can playfully contemplate a day when quarks will serve to store information, one bit apiece perhaps. How much information would then fit into our one-centimeter cube? And how much if we harness superstrings or even deeper, yet undreamt of levels? Surprisingly, developments in gravitation physics in the past three decades have supplied some clear answers to what seem to be elusive questions.

The information content of a pile of computer chips increases in proportion with the number of chips or, equivalently, the volume they occupy. That simple rule must break down for a large enough pile of chips because eventually the information would exceed the holographic bound, which depends on the surface area, not the volume. The "breakdown" occurs when the immense pile of chips collapses to form a black hole. Black Hole Thermodynamics

A central player in these developments is the black hole. Black holes are a consequence of general relativity, Albert Einstein's 1915 geometric theory of gravitation. In this theory, gravitation arises from the curvature of spacetime, which makes objects move as if they were pulled by a force. Conversely, the curvature is caused by the presence of matter and energy. According to Einstein's equations, a sufficiently dense concentration of matter or energy will curve spacetime so extremely that it rends, forming a black hole. The laws of relativity forbid anything that went into a black hole from coming out again, at least within the classical (nonquantum) description of the physics. The point of no return, called the event horizon of the black hole, is of crucial importance. In the simplest case, the horizon is a sphere, whose surface area is larger for more massive black holes.

It is impossible to determine what is inside a black hole. No detailed information can emerge across the horizon and escape into the outside world. In disappearing forever into a black hole, however, a piece of matter does leave some traces. Its energy (we count any mass as energy in accordance with Einstein's E = mc2) is permanently reflected in an increment in the black hole's mass. If the matter is captured while circling the hole, its associated angular momentum is added to the black hole's angular momentum. Both the mass and angular momentum of a black hole are measurable from their effects on spacetime around the hole. In this way, the laws of conservation of energy and angular momentum are upheld by black holes. Another fundamental law, the second law of thermodynamics, appears to be violated.

Holographic Space-Time

Two universes of different dimension and obeying disparate physical laws are rendered completely equivalent by the holographic principle. Theorists have demonstrated this principle mathematically for a specific type of five-dimensional spacetime ("anti­de Sitter") and its four-dimensional boundary. In effect, the 5-D universe is recorded like a hologram on the 4-D surface at its periphery. Superstring theory rules in the 5-D spacetime, but a so-called conformal field theory of point particles operates on the 4-D hologram. A black hole in the 5-D spacetime is equivalent to hot radiation on the hologram--for example, the hole and the radiation have the same entropy even though the physical origin of the entropy is completely different for each case. Although these two descriptions of the universe seem utterly unalike, no experiment could distinguish between them, even in principle.

The second law of thermodynamics summarizes the familiar observation that most processes in nature are irreversible: a teacup falls from the table and shatters, but no one has ever seen shards jump up of their own accord and assemble into a teacup. The second law of thermodynamics forbids such inverse processes. It states that the entropy of an isolated physical system can never decrease; at best, entropy remains constant, and usually it increases. This law is central to physical chemistry and engineering; it is arguably the physical law with the greatest impact outside physics.

As first emphasized by Wheeler, when matter disappears into a black hole, its entropy is gone for good, and the second law seems to be transcended, made irrelevant. A clue to resolving this puzzle came in 1970, when Demetrious Christodoulou, then a graduate student of Wheeler's at Princeton, and Stephen W. Hawking of the University of Cambridge independently proved that in various processes, such as black hole mergers, the total area of the event horizons never decreases. The analogy with the tendency of entropy to increase led me to propose in 1972 that a black hole has entropy proportional to the area of its horizon. I conjectured that when matter falls into a black hole, the increase in black hole entropy always compensates or overcompensates for the "lost" entropy of the matter. More generally, the sum of black hole entropies and the ordinary entropy outside the black holes cannot decrease. This is the generalized second law--GSL for short.

Our innate perception that the world is three-dimensional could be an extraordinary illusion.

Hawking's radiation process allowed him to determine the proportionality constant between black hole entropy and horizon area: black hole entropy is precisely one quarter of the event horizon's area measured in Planck areas. (The Planck length, about 10-33 centimeter, is the fundamental length scale related to gravity and quantum mechanics. The Planck area is its square.) Even in thermodynamic terms, this is a vast quantity of entropy. The entropy of a black hole one centimeter in diameter would be about 1066 bits, roughly equal to the thermodynamic entropy of a cube of water 10 billion kilometers on a side.

The World as a Hologram

The GSL allows us to set bounds on the information capacity of any isolated physical system, limits that refer to the information at all levels of structure down to level X. In 1980 I began studying the first such bound, called the universal entropy bound, which limits how much entropy can be carried by a specified mass of a specified size [see box on opposite page]. A related idea, the holographic bound, was devised in 1995 by Leonard Susskind of Stanford University. It limits how much entropy can be contained in matter and energy occupying a specified volume of space.

In his work on the holographic bound, Susskind considered any approximately spherical isolated mass that is not itself a black hole and that fits inside a closed surface of area A. If the mass can collapse to a black hole, that hole will end up with a horizon area smaller than A. The black hole entropy is therefore smaller than A/4.

According to the GSL, the entropy of the system cannot decrease, so the mass's original entropy cannot have been bigger than A/4. It follows that the entropy of an isolated physical system with boundary area A is necessarily less than A/4. What if the mass does not spontaneously collapse? In 2000 I showed that a tiny black hole can be used to convert the system to a black hole not much different from the one in Susskind's argument. The bound is therefore independent of the constitution of the system or of the nature of level X. It just depends on the GSL.

We can now answer some of those elusive questions about the ultimate limits of information storage. A device measuring a centimeter across could in principle hold up to 1066 bits--a mind-boggling amount. The visible universe contains at least 10100 bits of entropy, which could in principle be packed inside a sphere a tenth of a light-year across. Estimating the entropy of the universe is a difficult problem, however, and much larger numbers, requiring a sphere almost as big as the universe itself, are entirely plausible.

But it is another aspect of the holographic bound that is truly astonishing. Namely, that the maximum possible entropy depends on the boundary area instead of the volume. Imagine that we are piling up computer memory chips in a big heap. The number of transistors--the total data storage capacity--increases with the volume of the heap. So, too, does the total thermodynamic entropy of all the chips.

Remarkably, though, the theoretical ultimate information capacity of the space occupied by the heap increases only with the surface area. Because volume increases more rapidly than surface area, at some point the entropy of all the chips would exceed the holographic bound. It would seem that either the GSL or our commonsense ideas of entropy and information capacity must fail. In fact, what fails is the pile itself: it would collapse under its own gravity and form a black hole before that impasse was reached. Thereafter each additional memory chip would increase the mass and surface area of the black hole in a way that would continue to preserve the GSL.

This surprising result--that information capacity depends on surface area--has a natural explanation if the holographic principle (proposed in 1993 by Nobelist Gerard 't Hooft of the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands and elaborated by Susskind) is true. In the everyday world, a hologram is a special kind of photograph that generates a full three-dimensional image when it is illuminated in the right manner.

All the information describing the 3-D scene is encoded into the pattern of light and dark areas on the two-dimensional piece of film, ready to be regenerated. The holographic principle contends that an analogue of this visual magic applies to the full physical description of any system occupying a 3-D region: it proposes that another physical theory defined only on the 2-D boundary of the region completely describes the 3-D physics. If a 3-D system can be fully described by a physical theory operating solely on its 2-D boundary, one would expect the information content of the system not to exceed that of the description on the boundary.

Well done,Treehugger.Read all about the illusionary nature of reality in the eye-opening book by David Icke,"Love is the only Truth,everything else is Illusion".As for myself,I regard reality as real,till the nature of outer appearance is unfolded on a deeper level,the inner symbolic,psychological meaning,the submerged part of the iceberg,so to speak.On the deepest level,the symbol is IMO rooted in universal Light and Love.Instead of focussing on meaningless illusion,scan the meaningful,psychological fairy-tale quality beneath each outer appearance.So even etheric,astral etc. images still present an outer aspect of some form of reality,only on a subtle matter level.The poles of reality are:Any outward appearance on all levels,and secondly the inner,symbolic meaning behind all appearances,on soul level.Maybe on a truly spiritual level,inner and outer aspects of reality merge into One.

If the universe is a hologram then we are also and our brain is too....an illusion viewing an illusion...

things are setup so that we remain baffled......notice the endless theories of "Science".......Every year there are new "discoveries" that get us closer to understanding the universe.....thats what they tell us ....but do you really believe it? Like our belief in the words of politicians.....When we sleep we see with eyes closed, we hear, run jump, eat while fast asleep. We are limited by the definitions of the words we use. We are all bound up in the prison cell of education. If we could rid ourselves of these words and get closer to the core.

Something is going to happen, something wonderfull.

We make our realities by accepting truths within the collective mind.
buying in
We participate within creation. Our form based existence is manifest via our collective lucidity within our reality. We make our realities first on planets, then across the galaxy, then beyond. Galactically there are many beings that would like your powers of creation to support their beliefs. Our beliefs control what experience we have collectively. For this reason, many cultures and races beyond Earth use the sentient populations of the galaxy to solidify their version of history, and of future, making it a less malleable reality. Our beliefs within a particular reality are what create that reality into existence in a more definitive and cohesive way.

As we enter universe society we will play a key role in making reality with many beings that would like us to buy into their truths. There is no one truth beyond the truth of an all-allowing god. All the truths are allowed and given a place as sacred, and no one truth or reality is finite. It is through the acceptance of truths, especially truths differing from our own, and the breaking free from limited belief systems, that consciousness expands.

mind power
In universal mind is contained all thoughts of all sentient beings. When we experience thoughts and emotions based in fear, greed or anger we must ask ourselves; do we want to think that way and give in to the ego's stated position of separate-self mentality. If we answer no then we can change our attitudes and take a position of "Who's mind is this, anyway?". The first and most effective answer to curve us away from parasitic, negative and destructive thoughts is: "It's my mind and I do not want to think that".

The larger observation is that it (creation) is more than your mind. Creation is a part of universal mind. We must honor life's evolution as an evolution that is consciously contributing toward universal mind. This inherently means we must actively choose to not pollute our shared mind, and to work to further evolution and all of life. Thus, being available and of service to universal mind, we must see that the answer to the question "who's mind is this, anyway?" inherently puts us into a greater ethical and compassionate perspective, as we choose to go with the natural, positive aspects within the higher states of universal mind. This allows us to be conscious of the spiritual polluting we could be participating in.

Thoughts have attractive attributes and can manifest thought-form creations, that, once created, have their own consciousness. This is another reason to keep ones thoughts filtered through the heart-mind. The heart-mind is our internal compass for thoughts, and the process of thought-form creation most considerate of universal mind.
