Yea, its all rather difficult to put into words hehe. A better example may be a hologram, but that would be even more taxing to explain, and i wouldn't even know where to begin on that one right now (have been up all night). There's a few theories flying around that the universe *is* actually a type of hologram of sorts.
In fact.. i did a quick google search right now and look what i found

The TFP post took two posts to get it all in, i don't want to quote something so huge into this thread. I think everyone will trust a link to another TFP post
Edit: WARNING: Only read the link if you are prepared to have your brain both implode and explode at the same time in the attempt to fully grasp everything that it is trying to explain.
