Another good comment, Terry: In 1991 author Michael Talbot released a book entitled The Holographic Universe that already elaborated this theory. This is not Craig Hogans original mind-boggling proposition whatsoever.
Indeed, this comment is beyond correct - and what we are left with is not only a very poor effort at science journalism, but one that is riding on top of a huge waste of taxpayer resources, if we look at this effort vis-à-vis shifting the funds over to alternative energy R&D. (actually, I am in favor of doing both) The Wiki synopsis of Talbots excellent book: After examining the work of physicist David Bohm and neurophysiologist Karl Pribram, both of whom independently arrived at holographic theories or models of the universe, the book argues that a holographic model could possibly explain supersymmetry and also various paranormal and anomalous phenomena and provide a basis for mystical experience I would highly recommend this book to everyone at Fermilab, and especially astrophysicist Craig Hogan, and the subpar tech writer who missed the nearly 20 year old story of how Talbot, not Hogan, made waves with a mind-boggling proposition: The 3D universe in which we appear to live is no more than a hologram. As for implications, one more reason to catch Inception which is one of those action movies that turn out to be deep and meaningful - like Matrix with all kinds of implication which were probably unintended, but that makes them all the more interesting. From: Terry Blanton "Im thinking that the place we call heaven is actually the original film from where our universe is projected from."
