I found this post after discussions with a friend who subscribes to Scientific American. I can't understand this fully through my understanding of science, being mathematically-challenged as I am, but as a Buddhist I actually pointed out that lately science seems to be borrowing ancient descriptions of the universe and re-hashing them in science's own terms. It really seems that quantum mechanics breaks down into religion to me. As I said, I can't do the math, so my access is impaired. If some people have perecieved this "holographic" reality directly, it follows that we would eventually get the tools to confirm it. I appreciate this discussion for the "reality" of it. The hologram metephor sits well with my daily experiences. That's how it feels to me, science or no science. Having said that, I think that for anything to be accepted by the collective consciousness it should be appropriately examined with science. Consentual reality is not the proper place for everyday mysticysm. I really believe that this debate will eventually dispel the delusions of ego which are the bane of civililized living. Proper understanding of reality leads to proper action in reality. Thanks for the engaging posts.
