"Our existence could be coded in a finite bandwidth, like a live ultra-high-definition 3-D video. And the third dimension we know and love could be no more than a holographic projection of a 2-D surface" “We could be living inside that 3-D projection, with the truer vision of it as a 2-D sheet hidden by scale" http://www.symmetrymagazine.org/breaking/2010/10/20/fermilab-scientists-to-test-hypothesis-of-holographic-universe/

It now strikes me as funny that these big brained people, at these prestigious Universities and labs are attempting to find the answer to the puzzle of this reality, by creating tools based upon an incomplete dataset.
They interpret the existing data and rehash it into their bias theories, spend billions building newer instruments to dissect the energy they see, into smaller and smaller pieces, never considering
the whole picture.
If they actually postulate that we are in a holographic universe, then how the heck can holocharacters who created holotools probe the bounderies of this HoloUniverse?
It defies logic. They will find what ever the programming is set up to show them. They won't find the truth.

Yeah, that was an interesting post. Discovery.com took that story, rehashed the GEO600 discovery, and elaborated on it here... http://news.discovery.com/space/are-we-living-in-a-hologram.html
(notice I made the 3rd comment on it) I think I have a slightly different take on it. RedDog wrote:They will find what ever the programming is set up to show them Absolutely true. But what if the program is leading us along, giving us tantalizing hints of the true nature of reality? Maybe they want us to get to the next "level" before revealing something significant. Wouldn't we still want to take the bait and get that one step closer to the truth? Wouldn't a discovery that we lived in a digitized universe still be worth pursuing? Even if it were not the truth, I'm not sure what the value would be in not investigating.

Sorry Jim, I did not mean to imply that one should not investigate, only that one should try and investigate using the 3rd or 4th person perspective. Anything found from our perspective will be colored with limits and deception designed into the system. If we are holo characters that have a foot in both this reality and the greater reality we came from, then our investigations should be geared toward the latter, not the former.

Makes sense, RedDog. Sorry for any misunderstanding. :)
