    At thi! point= what +ouve $ot i! a holo$raphic ia$e a pattern on the holo$raphic fil *ut +ou cant !eethe ia$e of the o*Dect? If +ou loo6 at the fil= all +ou can !ee i! a *unch of nothin$ indi!cerni*le wave!?

    Jout pop! the o*Dect fro Step 1? Thi! would *e the eKuivalent of chan$in$ +our focu! to have the %9picture pop out a! a di!cerni*le ia$e?

    Now= the o!t intere!tin$ thin$ a*out thi! holo$raphic ia$e of an apple that pop! out in Step " i! that itloo6! ver+ real and ver+ !olid !o real that +our outh can water= and +ou want to pic6 it up and ta6e a *ite5ut if +ou tr+ to pic6 it up= +our hand will $o ri$ht throu$h it= !ince there! nothin$ there?

    2Creating the i%%usion that things are %ocated !here they are ( is the =uintessentia% "eature o" aho%ogram9 /" you %oo+ at a ho%ogram, it seems to have e.tension in space, but i" you pass your hand through

    it, you !i%% "ind there is nothing there9 Despite !hat your senses te%% you, no instrument !i%% pic+ up anyenergy or substance !here the ho%ogram appears to be hovering (his is because a ho%ogram is a virtua% image,

    an image that appears to be !here it is not?3(

    So how can Kuantu ph+!ic! !a+ we live in a holo$raphic univer!e' That doe!nt a6e an+ !en!e? &hat we!ee and touch loo6! and feel! ver+ real and ver+ !olid? &e can reach out and $ra* and eat the apple we !ee infront of u! !o how can it *e a holo$ra' &e al!o dont fall throu$h the floor nor can we wal6 throu$h wall!wellJ the va!t aDorit+ of u! cant?

    The fir!t an!wer i! to !a+ that an+ Kuantu ph+!ici!t! dont actuall+ !a+ our ph+!ical realit+ is aholo$ra the+ !a+! it acts %i+ea holo$ra= !ince the atheatic! u!ed to eplain *oth i! the !ae?

    5ut ore and ore !cienti!t! are now $oin$ further and !u$$e!tin$ we do= indeed= live in a holo$ra

    2(he idea that !e %ive in a ho%ogram probab%y sounds absurd, but it is a natura% e.tension o" our bestunderstanding o" b%ac+ ho%es, and something !ith a pretty "irm theoretica% "ooting /t has a%so been surprising%yhe%p"u% "or physicists !rest%ing !ith theories o" ho! the universe !or+s at its most "undamenta% %eve%?3.

    So at thi! point I would !ipl+ a!6 +ou to !u!pend all Dud$ent and con!ider the po!!i*ilit+ we live in aholo$raphic univer!e= a! the !cientific re!ult! of Kuantu ph+!ic! !u$$e!t? @ou dont have to 2*elieve3 thi!forever Du!t tr+ it out a! an eperient?
