Does Space Emerge From A Holographic Boundary?
PBS Space Time・11 minutes read
Physicists explore the holographic principle, proposing that our universe may be an inward projection from an infinitely distant boundary, challenging the perception of space's nature and reality. Black hole thermodynamics and the entropy defined by Bekenstein and Hawking suggest that space could be an emergent phenomenon, with the universe playing out on a lower-dimensional spacetime through conformal field theory.
Insights
- Physicists suggest that the fabric of space might originate from a more profound source, proposing that our universe is a projection from an infinitely distant boundary, challenging traditional views of reality.
- The concept of the holographic principle implies that our 3-D universe could be a projection from a lower-dimensional space, shedding light on the fundamental nature of reality and how space emerges from deeper principles.
