A 1930s-era breakthrough is helping physicists understand how quantum threads could weave together into a holographic space-time fabric.

Like the Holographic Universe?

Reading that lead me to read the MUCH more interesting but FAR from easy to decode: Wholeness and the Implicate Order

I'll have to check it out, thanks for the link! [Edit] oh it's a book, not an online article.

Yeah this article is really long, and a lot of it is over my head (especially the math), but they have brought up several interesting points and provided a much easier-to-understand model of the holographic universe. I mentioned this theory in another post here a few months ago and was basically shut down with claims that this wasn't even possible and the theory had been long-discounted, and yet here we are with modern work still plugging away at the concept. It makes me appreciate just how much hell all scientists go through when they posit theories that contradict other people's personal beliefs.

Yeah that book rocks
