Re: Could the Holographic principle apply to our ever so slightly positively curved universe?

There was an article published on Monday over a survey on whether the 
holographic principle could survive in either flat or curved space. They ran 
the survey twice and the spirit of the lamp augered, yes. And it kind of fits 
into digitalist physics, philosophy, plumbing.

Fermilab is constructing a device called a Holometer and if we're lucky
it may be able to tell us if spacetime is quantized and show us if the
Planck Length and the Planck Time really do mean something in physics.

 *Universality of Gravity from Entanglement*
 *Brian Swingle, Mark Van Raamsdonk*
 *(Submitted on 12 May 2014)*

 *The entanglement first law in conformal field theories relates the
 entanglement entropy for a ball-shaped region to an integral over the same
 region involving the expectation value of the CFT stress-energy tensor, for
 infinitesimal perturbations to the CFT vacuum state. In recent work, this
 was exploited at leading order in N in the context of large N holographic
 CFTs to show that any geometry dual to a perturbed CFT state must satisfy
 Einstein's equations linearized about pure AdS. In this note, we
 investigate the implications of the leading 1/N correction to the exact CFT
 result. We show that these corrections give rise to the source term for the
 gravitational equations: for semiclassical bulk states, the expectation
 value of the bulk stress-energy tensor appears as a source in the
 linearized equations. In particular, the CFT first law leads to Newton's
 Law of gravitation and the fact that all sources of stress-energy source
 the gravitational field. In our derivation, this universality of gravity
 comes directly from the universality of entanglement (the fact that all
 degrees of freedom in a subsystem contribute to entanglement entropy). *


As a bear of little brain, I may have to wait for the popular science book.

(Unless someone can summarise the result for dummies?)

 I can't watch that right now but it sounds interesting. Is this an attempt
to measure the granularity of space-time, or something similar? If I
understand correctly, the holographic principle implies that the resulting
hologram should have a pixel size (which I imagine may depend on the
distance to the boundary ... which may mean everything slowly fuzzes out as
the universe expands???)

RE: Could the Holographic principle apply to our ever so slightly positively curved universe?

2015-04-28 Thread 'Chris de Morsella' via Everything List
The 'holographic principle,' the idea that a universe with gravity can be
described by a quantum field theory in fewer dimensions, has been used for
years as a mathematical tool in strange curved spaces. New results suggest
that the holographic principle also holds in flat spaces. Our own universe
could in fact be two dimensional and only appear three dimensional -- just
like a hologram.

 

The holographic universe hypothesis has been around for a while (since Juan
Maldacena proposed it in 1997); what is interesting in this news, is that it
has been shown to be possible for a universe with flat or positive spacetime
curvatures, as opposed to just the exotic negative spacetime curvature
(anti-de-sitter-space) 

 

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/04/150427101633.htm

 

 

However, Grumiller has suspected for quite some time that a correspondence
principle could also hold true for our real universe. To test this
hypothesis, gravitational theories have to be constructed, which do not
require exotic anti-de-sitter spaces, but live in a flat space. For three
years, he and his team at TU Wien (Vienna) have been working on that, in
cooperation with the University of Edinburgh, Harvard, IISER Pune, the MIT
and the University of Kyoto. Now Grumiller and colleagues from India and
Japan have published an article in the journal Physical Review Letters,
confirming the validity of the correspondence principle in a flat universe.
