Is the Universe a Holographic Reality? - Global One TV 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. 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.
We come from the future. This is, for the most part, an accurate article, except for a few statements. "Exactly what makes a fermion a fermion is a bit complicated, but suffice it to say that fermions are all the particles that deal with matter. So what about the last group of elementary particles, the ones that don't deal with matter? These are the bosons, and they deal with the fundamental forces of the universe." The statements above can be misinterpreted as suggesting that fermions are defined as particles that deal with matter and bosons are defined as particles that deal with forces. And that is not true. Particles that deal with matter are fermions and particles that carry the fundamental forces are bosons. What fermions and bosons really are have to do with two apparently unrelated (but actually related) particle properties: spin and statistics. "There are four known bosons" See, this is an example of the misconception I just mentioned. According to special relativity, not general relativity.
Howstuffworks "How Holograms Work" If you want to see a hologram, you don't have to look much farther than your wallet. There are holograms on most driver's licenses, ID cards and credit cards. If you're not old enough to drive or use credit, you can still find holograms around your home. Unfortunately, these holograms -- which exist to make forgery more difficult -- aren't very impressive. On the other hand, large-scale holograms, illuminated with lasers or displayed in a darkened room with carefully directed lighting, are incredible. If you look at these holograms from different angles, you see objects from different perspectives, just like you would if you were looking at a real object. Holograms have other surprising traits as well. Once you know the principles behind holograms, understanding how they can do all this is easy.
For One Tiny Instant, Physicists May Have Broken a Law of Nature This image of a full-energy collision between gold ions shows the paths taken by thousands of subatomic particles produced during the impact. For a brief instant, it appears, scientists at Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island recently discovered a law of nature had been broken. Action still resulted in an equal and opposite reaction, gravity kept the Earth circling the Sun, and conservation of energy remained intact. But for the tiniest fraction of a second at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), physicists created a symmetry-breaking bubble of space where parity no longer existed. Parity was long thought to be a fundamental law of nature. Now this law appears to have been broken by a team of about a dozen particle physicists, including Jack Sandweiss, Yale's Donner Professor of Physics. It was the equally gargantuan magnetic field produced by the plasma — the strongest ever created — that alerted the physicists that one of nature's laws might have been broken.
Runaway Universe | How Big is the Universe? By Brent Tully Posted 11.11.00 NOVA How big is the universe? Could it be infinitely large? If the universe has an edge, what is beyond the edge? And if the universe had a beginning, what was going on before that? Our experience of the everyday world does not prepare us to grasp the concept of an infinite universe. There are billions of galaxies in the visible universe. The Visible Universe There is an edge to what we are able to see and could ever possibly see in the universe. This horizon describes the visible universe—a region some 28 billion light years in diameter. While we can never directly "see" the whole of the universe or glimpse its farthest horizons, we can discover how it is behaving This view of the universe fits with the currently popular idea that the universe began with a vast expansion of size. If this grand idea is correct, then the universe is larger than we ever could have imagined. Cosmic Acceleration A Puzzling Expansion Whatever could produce that acceleration?

Todd's Intro to Quantum Mechanics The Museum of Unworkable Devices Physics Gallery - StumbleUpon Perpetual motion machine inventors do have principles. Unfortunately the physical principles they assume are often ones not obeyed by nature. Let's examine just a few. The principle of unlimited possibility. Anything is possible in nature. Anything is possible Inventors assume that since we haven't looked at every part of the universe nor have we looked at all possible mechanisms or phenomena, we can't rule out anything. Those who think this way are much like the child who puts two blocks in a box, closes the box, shakes it, then opens it, hoping to find three blocks inside. The "heavier on one side" seduction. The most naive level of perpetual motion seduction is the notion that if a system has more mass on one side of the axle, then that side must swing downward. We can test its stability by turning the wheel to any position whatever. The earliest unbalanced wheel of Bhaskara underwent countless modifications and embellishments over centuries. The situation is worse than that.
