Quote:I'm not sure how much the hologram idea contradicts Einstein or if it does at all.  Usually all these ideas are attempting to explain something general relativity didn't explain.  But a hologram is still physical thing.  It's not the same as saying the world is a simulation (which is a whole different can of worms). 

The defination of a hologram (in every form of hologram I can find) has to do with photographicly produced images...hardly anything I would consider our universe to be..."
