Okay.

I have seen that.

There's just a bunch of math that says, yes, we experience life in 3D, but maybe somehow the universe is encoded in less dimensions than that.

It's a purely mathematical theoretical thing.

And it really has nothing to do with like holograms in the sense of like watching movies or everything isn't real or we're living in a simulation.

But it's almost an unfortunate case of they chose the word holographic to describe this mathematical physics paper.

And then a bunch of people ran with it.

And they're like, well, that means everything's a hologram.

And that's not what these scientists are saying.

They could have just as easily chosen a different word, called it a baba ganoush.

And then you wouldn't get people reporting based on this physics paper.

Yeah, we're living in an eggplant.

The eggplant universe.

But that's what can sometimes happen.

Yeah.

And that's what happened a few years ago when a bunch of theoretical physicists just proposed some math to say, this is how we can think of the universe.

It has no practical implications.

It's just a mathematical thing.

And then people see the word holographic, you know, one...

magazine summarizes it and maybe that magazine is like highbrow physicists read it and then a slightly less brow universe slightly less brow magazine takes it and then they summarize it and then another source summarizes it and then when you finally see it in your social media feed it's like well everything's an illusion we're living in a simulation
