Space seems fundamental. To build a universe, surely you need something to build it on or in. Many, maybe most physicists now think that the fabric of space emerges from something deeper. And perhaps the most existentially disturbing such proposal is that our 3-D universe is just the inward projection of an infinitely distant boundary. A hologram, or sorts. Let’s see how that can actually work, and what the holographic principle really says about the “realness” of this universe.

That was quite interesting. Not sure how far you really can take the analogy, but coming from an IT background, that "multiple seemingly different models describing the exact same thing" made me immediately think how you (in principle) can describe an application by giving its behavior and functionality, OR by listing its source code, OR by describing how the electricity flows through the hardware circuits. Vastly different descriptions that seem to have nothing in common, yet all describing the exact same thing. Nor can you really say which of these is the "real one" as it's more a switch in your point-of-view and which description fits your purpose. If it's anything sorta-like this, yes, makes sense. Though, always have to be careful about analogies, especially when they are of something outside your own field of expertise 🙂 but can be a useful tool when trying to understand things.

Heehee. Sometimes the ability to calculate or do math isn't the same skill as comprehending or teaching the material conceptually. Probably why I'm not in science as a career though, good with concepts and communication, would be miserable about all the mental effort it takes for me to memorize things or keep numbers straight. A Relativity class teacher once made this clear, being like, "You're the only one in the class that understands the material, but you remember two times three is six, right?" Oops. :)

@Vastin Ай бұрын

I think that describing the boundary as 'infinitely distant' doesn't quite get at the relationship, though it does hint at it's inaccessibility. The relationship between the bulk and the boundary cannot be described by vectors, directions or distances. It's not like the volume of the ocean beneath it's surface or a ball with the universe 'inside' it. It's rather more like a 3D picture projected onto a screen from a projector - but as seen by the characters in the show, not by the audience watching it. Would the characters in the show be able to point in the direction of the projector? Not really, because from their perspective it doesn't really exist, even if they know there is a projector and that they are in a show. The projector generates their reality, but isn't really a part of it - there is no direction that the characters in the projection could walk to reach the projector, because they cannot leave the screen. The reality the projector resides in is fundamentally different than their reality, even though there IS a direct relationship between the two.

I think we continue to misunderstand space altogether. From the fact that a spin 1/2 particle needs 720 degs of rotation to come back to its starting point, to the fact that entropy is proportional to area, and that the area of a one plank volume sphere is 4 plank areas. Also, that the "stiffness" of spacetime, that defines how fast gravitational waves move through it is related, in an unknown way, the the permeability and permittivity of space. We are missing something very fundamental, IMHO, and when we find it, we'll no doubt to a face-palm.

You can understand them perfectly well without any modification to your understanding of space.

"We can no longer speak of the behaviour of the particle independently of the process of observation. As a final consequence, the natural laws formulated mathematically in quantum theory no longer deal with the elementary particles themselves but with our knowledge of them. Nor is it any longer possible to ask whether or not these particles exist in space and time objectively..." - Werner Heisenberg Once you're in Heisenberg's interpretation of quantum mechanics, I think it's quite natural to think in terms of holographic surfaces instead of volumes. All of Heisenberg's measurements that he applies his Uncertainty Principle to exist on surfaces! Also, since we're dealing with Heisenbergian measurements instead of reality directly, it does make sense mathematically to organize the data in this holographic manner. We're not looking for a true picture of reality at this scale, it seems beyond reach. What we're doing is being very precise about what our measurements yield, when we project our arbitrary x,y,z and t onto the world. In this way, QM is a map of possible measurements, rather than a map of reality. To an empiricist, this is the more useful map!

I've always been fascinated by this particular concept of the holographic universe, ever since it was first proposed in our modern understanding of physics. I'm very happy that it has gotten such a great explainer in a readily accessible video. You have done such a great job explaining so many concepts that I find so enjoyable to listen. It's like listening to one of your favorite stories, only this time told by one of the greatest orators and storytellers, it is just simply a pleasure)

Mass distribution is far from uniform, so certainly the forces which act upon the boundary of universal space-time are a graduation of relative energies. There is a logical explanation just sitting right there.

Completely off-topic but a question I had: If bosons can be occupy the same space, and the W and Z bosons are more massive than even iron atoms, and we know that you can create a black hole from concentrating photons... Can W and/or Z bosons create a black hole if too many of them accidentally overlap? How many W/Z bosons would you need to accidentally make this black hole (even a small one)? And is this at all likely to accidentally occur?

@kindlin Ай бұрын

The trouble is manipulating W/Z bosons into any actual location. They exist on such short timescales, you can do almost nothing more than identify their brief existence.

It feels like gravity may turn out to be the result of standing wave nodes on the surface of a blackhole which we are the projection of. Basically, Faraday waves on the boundary and we are on a sheet of time falling towards the singularity while everything we look out towards appears to be expanding. Entanglement would be the result of these nodes as they are created by a single wavefunction on the surface and are the result of all wave functions interacting to create the effect of nodes and anti-nodes. It would suggest the CMB is actually the Event horizon we are looking back towards and using it we should be able to calculate various properties of the blackhole we are in. The CMB is so uniform as things reach maximum entropy right before falling in.

@Fangman123789 Ай бұрын

Wait, so could that also explain why we see the beginning of the universe as infinitely/extremely dense and ours is not dense in comparison? Causing us to believe our universe started off that way when it was really just the projection from the other plane and ours has a different "beginning state" that would give us different constants possibly? Where ours as it became a supermassive blackhole the total density dropped? Or am I talking nonsense, because I admit the holographic universe and this holographic boundary concept is above me, whereas usually I feel with or above the curve a little on most concepts on this channel. Could that concept you said also implicate that due to the observance of multiple black holes, would that basically be the multiverse theory in a half true manner? Except rather than concept of all possible outcomes existing and infinitely varying universal constants instead you have multiple very similar universes due to them all being black holes. Also, would the predicted ratio of matter to antimatter, and its slight imbalance, at the creation of the universe still be a relevant meaaurement? If so, I wonder in what way it would manifest itself within the concept of reality you said. Again, sorry if these are dumb questions, Im struggling with some of these concepts lol, but it weirdly feels good. The more contradictions with our theories we find with the JWST and the harder to conceptualize these topics become the giddier it makes me, for so long I think many casual followers (or maybe just myself 😅) of theoretical physics, astrophysics, astronomy, etc have felt like many of the mysteries were solved, like we were almost done or close to the final step lol. But our knowledge is like an expanding circle, as we grow the circumference of our knowledge we exponentially increase the volume of our ignorance 😂. I stole that from somewhere and probably paraphrased it crappy but you get the gist.

This reminds me very much of a basic property of differentiable complex functions in complex analysis. If a complex function is "holomorphic" on a region - that is to say, it can be differentiated at every point both within that region as well as on the region boundary - then in fact the behavior on the boundary _alone_ is _sufficient_ to describe the entire interior behavior. The one-dimensional boundary, fills in all the details of the two-dimensional space inside it.

The spring equinox for North America occurred a few days ago on March 19, 2024, at 10:06 p.m. CDT. Good Friday occurs exactly 10 days after the equinox on March 29, and the total solar eclipse occurs exactly 10 days after Good Friday on April 8. In other words, Good Friday lies at the exact mid-point in time between the equinox and the eclipse.

If wormholes were real wouldn't the gravity at One end pull on the other. They'd be unstable close less then anano nano second so not light would get through and stretched and contracted in so many different directions affects on light would be cancelled out. But paths of gravitational bodies would be altered areas of gravity would be linked much closer then would other wise

It seems to be that the ‘infinitely far away’ boundary is designed to fit Penrose's theory, where the boundary lies at the end of our time. But there's an alternative boundary we can consider that is more analogous to a black hole, which is the sphere where space is expanding away from us at the speed of light. This occurs since space is not a thing with a speed limit, unlike particles. As nothing can escape the ball defined within this sphere, one might expect similar properties to those of a black hole, such as the entropy being proportional to the area of the sphere.

I met Erik Verlinde at a Dark Matter presentation at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore thanks to my wife. One can expand on this understanding by cross-referencing his data with thousands of Boolean searches. This shows that the Bunch-Davies vacuum promotes the generation of entropy, which can be calculated within the ADS/CFT framework using the Ryu-Takayanagi proposal. This is especially clear when considering the modes that exit the horizon during inflation and contribute to the cosmic microwave background as it is today.
