The Universe as a Hologram
by Michael Talbot

Does Objective Reality Exist, or is the Universe a Phantasm?

In 1982 a remarkable event took place. At the University of Paris a research team led by physicist Alain Aspect performed what may turn out to be one of the most important experiments of the 20th century. You did not hear about it on the evening news. In fact, unless you are in the habit of reading scientific journals you probably have never even heard Aspect's name, though there are some who believe his discovery may change the face of science.
Aspect and his team discovered that under certain circumstances subatomic particles such as electrons are able to instantaneously communicate with each other regardless of the distance separating them. It doesn't matter whether they are 10 feet or 10 billion miles apart. Somehow each particle always seems to know what the other is doing. The problem with this feat is that it violates Einstein's long-held tenet that no communication can travel faster than the speed of light. Since traveling faster than the speed of light is tantamount to breaking the time barrier, this daunting prospect has caused some physicists to try to come up with elaborate ways to explain away Aspect's findings. But it has inspired others to offer even more radical explanations.
University of London physicist David Bohm, for example, believes Aspect's findings imply that objective reality does not exist, that despite its apparent solidity the universe is at heart a phantasm, a gigantic and splendidly detailed hologram.

I for one think that something very, very strange is going on. My unspoken motto (and favorite bumper sticker) has always been Question Reality.

Years ago, I hear an elderly DB make these comments at a lecture at the University of Toronto.

But keep in mind: Long before the modern physicists, theologians--See Genesis 1:1-3, and John 1: 1-5--called that phantasmic hologram, Elohim (GOD).

I doubt it.

"Aspect and his team discovered that under certain circumstances subatomic particles such as electrons are able to instantaneously communicate with each other regardless of the distance separating them. It doesn't matter whether they are 10 feet or 10 billion miles apart."

Even if this were true, it doesn´t refute the existence of an objective reality nor does it make the world a phantasm and certainly not a hologram of any sort. The conclusions don´t make sense to me. Can you explain them, please?

If you can understand it, read about the loophole here:-

Diving off into holgraphic theory is a waste of time if the original conclusions are suspect!
But, I am not sufficiently clued up to understand much of this topic.

Humbleness is one hell a of virtue; and it goes right along with wisdom, in my opinion

Thanks, rhymer.

All sounds a bit "hole-istic " (wink) to me. But then I´m a layperson too.
