ALL THE EFFORT WASTED DENYING THE EARTH IS FLAT:
Hogan’s holometer: Testing the hypothesis of a holographic universe (Sara Reardon, October 20, 2010, Symmetry)
In 2008, Fermilab particle astrophysicist Craig Hogan made waves with a mind-boggling proposition: The 3D universe in which we appear to live is no more than a hologram.Posted by Orrin Judd at October 25, 2010 5:21 AMNow he is building the most precise clock of all time to directly measure whether our reality is an illusion. [...]
Black hole physics, in which space and time become compressed, provides a basis for math showing that the third dimension may not exist at all. In this two-dimensional cartoon of a universe, what we perceive as a third dimension would actually be a projection of time intertwined with depth. If this is true, the illusion can only be maintained until equipment becomes sensitive enough to find its limits.[...]
“People trying to tie reality together don’t have any data, just a lot of beautiful math,” said Hogan.
