Your bikes are holograms!

Yep, you heard it, your bikes and everything else are holograms

First up , I checked to make sure it wasn't the first of April , then read the article .

Serious . A good read , but , way beyond my level of comprehension .

And could it also explain the expansion of the universe? If the 2D event horizon that is surrounding us all has to expand to accommodate the information that is being lost from black holes, due to Hawkins radiation, in a quantum entanglement sort of way? Hence the cosmological constant is driven by black hole evaporation :idea:

You see this is what happens when you mix scientists with marijuana. They come up with shite like this... it takes everyone else a decade or so to prove that all these zany theories are completely wrong.

Black hole information paradox. :roll: Where do I begin?

The universe has been around as long as it has [you'll note I've left this intentionally vague] and scientists think they're close to understanding everything. When something doesn't match the theory, they just invent another one. Anyone can do that. But picking the right one is the challenge.

He showed that the physics inside a hypothetical universe with five dimensions and shaped like a Pringle is the same as the physics taking place on the four-dimensional boundary.

I'm wondering if this sounds sillier to laypeople or scientists?

Though i'm not an expert, I just thought the reason physics can sound crazy is because they derive the idea using maths, and only then try and convert the result into a more meaningful understanding.

Sounds pretty good if the noise is actually what they think it might be.

These scientists are not stupid, you know. For the decade that it takes them to proove the theory wrong they will be on a fat research grant. At the end of the study they will come up with another stupid theory which the proposer of the first stupid theory will spend 10 years disproving. And so it keeps going like perpetual motion.

Terrence Mckenna had been saying this sort of thing for ages until his death/passing on in 2000, he was big into his various Ethnopharmacological uses of medicinal plant use in humans. If you catch my drift

David Icke is quite a big proponent of the hologram hypothesis also.

As are others.

ahh! to be able to sit around all day and even get paid to sit around all day and hypothsise about things such as this!

yes sirree bob!

That made me laugh too. But there is a cycling connection after all...

Hyperbolic Geometry is the study of a saddle shaped space. Consider what would happen if instead of working on the Euclidean flat piece of paper, you work on a curved surface shaped like the outer surface of a saddle or a Pringle's potato chip.

So the universe might be saddle shaped! Cool! I Maybe there's a gateway to another universe through the anatomic cutout...

If that is the case, I wouldn't want to be the alien astronomer peering through the cut-out gateway. :oops:
