Has science proven that the Universe is in reality just a hologram?

As one of the comments says, at first glance it does appear to be a variation on Plato's cave theory about people's perceptions of reality being based on reflections rather than the reality itself.

I find this subject fascinating and the more I read of it, the more certain I am that there are things/events in the universe so mind-bogglingly complicated that man just does not have the language nor the mental capacity to describe them....and thus re-affirms my agnosticm.

I won't believe it unless PROF. BRIAN COX tells me it's true. He needs to say the word "billion" at least EIGHT times when explaining it too.

Do you know that when Cook's ships approached the islands off the coast of America the natives could not see the ships, just the waves parting as they advanced. They still could not see them until one of them worked out what would make waves part in that fashion? He decided upon some kind of large vessel. When he explained this to the other natives they could all see the ships. They didn't have the capacity to understand what it was and therefore could not see them.

That kinda sounds like guff to me. They may well have not been able to tell that they were ships, but don't tell me if you see something you've never seen before then you can't see it?

As John Lennon once said: I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.

Well it makes as much sense as some of the other stuff that has appeared or will appear on this thread.

Does that mean we are really playing in the premiership, but our inability to believe it means that our perceptions are that we are still in the Championship. I think it wasn't Leicester we thrashed 3-1 last Saturday, but Chelsea.

I like this game.

What a load of cock. How does anyone know what the Natives saw? I doubt if the Indians could speak English and I'm also pretty sure that Amerindian speakers were pretty thin on the ground in the Royal Navy.
