Fresh Dose of Quantum Mechanics

Fermilab to build Holometer to detect if Real is real

The universe-as-hologram theory is predicated on the idea that spacetime is not perfectly smooth, but becomes discrete and pixelated as you zoom in further and further, like a low-res digital image. This idea isn’t novel; recent experiments in black-hole physics have offered evidence that this may be the case, and prominent physicists have proposed similar ideas. Under this theory, the universe actually exists in two dimensions and the third is an illusion produced by the intertwining of time and depth. But the false third dimension can’t be perceived as such, because nothing travels faster than light, so instruments can’t find its limits.

Mind-boggling, but impossible to grasp.

Re: Fresh Dose of Quantum Mechanics

the instruments are the limit. for now. i'm not sure this holometer will give the final answer tho, but its deffenetly a step fwd

I love this stuff, but can never wrap my brain around it

No matter what we believe to be "the final answer", we will always much further away from it than we know.

sounds like something from the movie event horizon... pretty neat.

wow, that's nauseatingly interesting

Re: Fresh Dose of Quantum Mechanics

lol, ah, nice. so modern, stubborn, dogmatic science is finally getting their heads out their asses by becoming aware, and freed to contemplate the boundless, fullness of space - on many planes; eternal motion, and infinite duration.

true, from the perspective we now have, but that will change too (is changing / expanding constantly)

Re: Fresh Dose of Quantum Mechanics

with death we will know the truth... until then, fuck off

Re: Fresh Dose of Quantum Mechanics

know what truth>?

[Kamal]

Re: Fresh Dose of Quantum Mechanics

that life can't show our dimensional mind.

Re: Fresh Dose of Quantum Mechanics

the inner life can. death is but a transition (and like the shedding of clothes) which can be experienced without dying. the lower, concrete mind is just one of our mediating apparatus/vehicles/bodies, which can be transcended. the abstract higher mind is multi-dimentional.

by misdirecting the power of self-consciousness to intensify and exaggerate the experience of the desire principle in relation to form, both physical and emotional, i think humanity has damaged and defiled the conception of human self hood that it sent to posterity. surely it is mirrored in the general confusion of will and desire, feeling and passion, cerebration and thought, sensation and knowledge.
