Operating with cutting-edge technology out of a trailer in rural Illinois, government researchers started today on a set of experiments that they say will help them determine whether or not you and me and everything that exists are living in a two-dimensional holographic universe.

It sounds completely off-the-walls insane, but the incongruities between Albert Einstein's theory of relativity and some of Max Planck's discoveries about the nature of matter can only be explained if we're living in a Matrix-style holographic illusion, according to Craig Hogan, director of the Department of Energy's Fermilab Center for Particle Astrophysics.

"For thousands of years, we have assumed that space is made of points and lines," he told me. "Maybe that is not right—it might be made of waves, the way that matter and energy are."

Reality has a limited amount of information, like a netflix movie when comcast is not giving you enough bandwidth, so things are a little blurry and jittery.

Does dying wake us up?

Are we just reprogrammed?

Good thread OP.

Damn, imagine if that is true. Everything we have ever achieved means nothing. It gives me a feeling of deep sadness but at the same time it brings me solace knowing that all the mistakes and sadness never mattered.

What do you guys think?


Do you guys think we could get out of it?
>I don't think we could honestly, assuming that we where created by the "machine" that made the hologram we could only exist inside our hologram universe.

Would you guys be happy if it was a hologram?

How do you think this will change the world if its proven right?

Do you guys think they would even tell us about it?
>I believe this will fade away until any findings and traces of them will be so hard to find that propaganda will take over spreading false truths and making the reality seem like nutjob material.

>Are we just reprogrammed?
Doubt it.

>>15131678
>Everything we have ever achieved means nothing.
Not exactly. It's just another function of "reality" or the observable part, if this is the case.

>Do you guys think we could get out of it?
>I don't think we could honestly, assuming that we where created by the "machine" that made the hologram we could only exist inside our hologram universe.
Well, we could create some really nifty technology out of mastering the finer points of the theory, if we can, imagine if we could solve color confinement, or zero point energy? Harness the power of the quantum foam....make universes of our own.

>Would you guys be happy if it was a hologram?
>How do you think this will change the world if its proven right?
It really wouldn't change my day to day routine, at least until technology gets implemented - it would make me SERIOUSLY reconsider the basic assumptions of results from magickal practices.

>>
>>15131617
>vice

No thanks
>>
>>15131764
I wouldn't go quite that far yet.

But, maybe.

I mentioned color confinement, in my mind it's the best evidence against certain interpretations of the sub-Planck length multiple universes (the idea that every choice branches off to a new reality) but also deeply implies something along the lines of a 'projected' reality, or at least one with a fundamental resolution limit.

Anyway, have some Sheldrake: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXpndnjHvqw

How long is it going to take for physicists to admit that the mystics had it right thousands of years ago?
>>
>2D hologram
What the fuck. Space is clearly tridimensional unless you are implying all there is to space is my vision framebuffer, but that would disregard everyone else's point of view.

Also, wasn't it already clear waves and particles were actually the same thing? I mean, I think Einstein implied it with his theory of relativity.
>>
>>15131791
Talbot was a pretty cool dude, it's a shame he died when he did. So, if we are living in a hologram-like universe, what are the implications? Talbot mentioned that it would make reality much more malleable than we currently believe it is. What does it say about consciousness and its place in the universe? Most importantly, what's generating the hologram?
>>
>>15131856
>Talbot mentioned that it would make reality much more malleable than we currently believe it is.
That's certainly an implication.

>What does it say about consciousness and its place in the universe?
Define 'consciousness'. Uh, I hate to admit it, but the idea of a field of consciousness that we simply tune into may actually be a viable concept under this worldview.

>what's generating the hologram?
That's the 64,000$ question.
>>
>>15131705
Here. Do this. This thing right here.
>>
>>15131856
>Most importantly, what's generating the hologram?

And then you realize we're living in a digital Australia, we're either the products of relations between criminals or are originally guilty of heinous crimes ourselves, with amnesia forced upon us in the hopes that living a new life will rehabilitate us and prepare us for reintegration into civilian life.

>>
>>15131840
>Also, wasn't it already clear waves and particles were actually the same thing? I mean, I think Einstein implied it with his theory of relativity.
Yes, but the implication is that the substrate (quantum foam; Krauss' 'nothing') is a probabilistic wave function that can be comprehended at a lowest scale of resolution. There's already indirect evidence of this substrate, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_confinement
>>
>>15131885
If I am understanding it correctly, when you feed energy into a quark pair, it divides itself like it was a cell and generates a new pair.

That's fucking fascinating, yo. We already discovered how to transform matter into energy and it seems we could find a way to reverse the process relatively soon.
>>
>>15131863
>Uh, I hate to admit it, but the idea of a field of consciousness that we simply tune into may actually be a viable concept under this worldview

Sort of like the "brain as a transceiver" model some people throw around?
>>
>>15131930
>>15131920
Yup.
>>
>>15131840
There's all sorts of odd little warpages in time with movement in space. Our scientists think what they believe may be the edge of space is expanding at an accelerating rate. When we think 3d on paper, we bring the illusion of finite measurement - your bedroom is a 12'x10'x10.5' cube. All good.

Where mathematics and the concept of space (and outer exosphere) become utterly fucknuts fascinating is when you factor in time, in the form of movement and gravitational pull. Check out some info on plotting courses and the variables involved, eccentricity & decay of orbit, etc.

As far as waves and particles, check out the double-slit experiment. Here's a neat little cartoon that demonstrates it nicely: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwXQjRBLwsQ

And mainly what it demonstrates is the universe of quantum mechanics weirder shit than we've ever imagined.
>>
>>15131953
I wonder what implications a holographic universe would have on the hermetic idea that "all is mental"
Perhaps the hologram exists as a manifestation of mind
>>
>>15131963
>hermetic idea that "all is mental"
That's 'new thought', and I think it would further validate a physical basis in these things rather than psychological.

A friend made a supposition in IRC one day, I was recounting a certain operation, and he suggested that reality is rather like a videogame simulation: Do x amount of yoga - achievement unlocked, new trance state available. Recite x words, tones, and gestures - achievement unlocked, new cutscene with a spiritual entity.

I never really gave that model the time of day until it was explained like that, especially the cutscene bit...

the universe is an object oriented programming environment

when we're born it's like initializing a new variable of the human class

dying is garbage collection

then if ur lucky you get reinitialized as a better human afterwards
>>
>>15132076

In death you can spawn in any body at any time and play it out at any level of confusion from there.
>>
>>15132076
It's fun to think about the universe and other things using programming concepts, to be honest.

For example, you could think about Plato's World of Idea hypothesis as the precursor to the idea of object oriented programming, and Parmenides' Static Universe as the state machine.
>>
Good thread, bump/
>>
>People asking what makes the hologram

That's not what being a hologram implies dummies. There doesn't need to be an operator. All it would imply is that the universe is made of a single tiny units of information that make up the rest of the unvierse
>>
>>15134170
Agreed, we don't need an 'operator', and the implication has always been a lowest scale of resolution.

And the 'problem' isn't so much that there IS a lowest scale, it's that it's fuzzy, in a way - which has multiple implications, but for a real solid answer we're going to need particle accelerators the circumference of the solar system, and hopefully these experiments will circumvent that need.

Ancient wisdom consistently teaches us this universe is a prison.

It is only in recent history that we have been conditioned to think of it as a pleasant place and attribute our sufferings to personal deficiency. This is a trick to get you back on the hamster wheel of need and desire rather than seek spiritual release!

There are quite a bit of people who want magitech, furries, or at least catgirls running around. Most people would enjoy shapeshifting, even if it's only an opposite-gender form of themselves to sate passing curiosity. Nobody really wants to go hungry, sick, or be uncomfortable in any way.

In other words, if what you say is true then holy fuck we are collectively terrible at co-creating things.
>>
>>15140092
You know why? We've been convinced we're all helpless "poor little me"s being shoved around by the forces of the world. The TV says it, the government says it, the news says it, our economic systems require it. The world is by and large materialistic, and the current paradigm is to assume that "you" are nothing more than a body and the chemicals and electricity in your brain. So, yes, if we're all God co-creating reality, and we're all made to believe we're not God co-creating reality, then reality will continue on as the uncontrolled mess that we will it to be. Those who see beyond the veil attain the power, because they know that all they need to do is assume power is theirs.

Somebody finally understands. The world hasn't been met with anything that hasn't truly shaken the status quo in many, many years.

Look into the annals of history. Look at the people of the past, their mythology, their heroes, and the everyday magic that perforates their lives, and then contrast it to now. Humanity has been slumbering for a long time, but at some point in everybody's lives, they look up at the stars and wonder, they feel as if something is missing. They fill it with some spirituality or another, some even manage to convince themselves its the truth. Others fill it with material goods.

The paradigm will shift eventually, when one too many people hunger for more. It will be chaos at first, people involved in the new world will be hated by people who cling to the old one, unable to separate themselves from the idea we are naught but subservient bags of flesh who's only purpose is to die.

The world will never be ready for any form of major change. But man cannot remake himself without suffering, for he is both the marble and the sculptor.

Coolest part of this article is that I was using some of the same information in my theories months ago on Quantum Consciousness.

I came to the same conclusion, that space and matter are the same energy type.

Also came to the conclusion that time is only a representation of quantum entanglements as they're occurring.

Been using the idea of space and people and matter as "Programs of Consciousness" for ages.

I gotta write more to the Reality Matrix. My really cool realities are making this interesting.
