We are just now discovering that we are living in a holographic universe rather than a fixed, solid, objective reality that’s “out there.”
In physics, this is called the “holographic principle,” which states that our “three-dimensional world of ordinary experience—the universe filled with galaxies, stars, planets, houses, boulders, and people—is a hologram, an image of reality coded on a distant two-dimensional surface.” (Dr. Leonard Susskind)
There are a number of well-respected physicists who say they believe in this holographic principle, However, none of them will come right out and say that “we ARE living in a hologram,” because — although there is “very very sharp mathematical evidence for this,” according to Dr. Susskind — there is no experiential evidence which they need to make such a definitive statement.
On the other hand, Stephen Davis suggests that there is enough circumstantial evidence to arrive at such a conclusion, and that by withholding that verdict we are risking our own future. In Logic, it is well established that if you start with a faulty premise, you will most like get faulty results. Davis says, “Just take an honest look around at our world and you will see what starting with a premise that we live in a fixed, solid, objective reality has produced: countless wars, abject poverty for too many, hungry and abused children, rampant discrimination, widespread malnutrition, deadly diseases, just to name a few. We need to change the very basic premise used to make our decisions and choices on many levels — individual, organizational, and governmental — before it’s too late and our faulty “objective reality” premise produces the ultimate outcome of total nuclear destruction.”
