which already exist in reality. Our universe is a hologram

The nature of the hologram - "the whole in every particle" - gives us a completely new way of understanding the structure and order of things. We see objects, for example, elementary particles, separated because we see only a part of reality. These particles are not separate "parts", but facets of a deeper unity.

At some deeper level of reality, such particles are not separate objects, but, as it were, a continuation of something more fundamental.

Scientists came to the conclusion that elementary particles are able to interact with each other regardless of the distance, not because they exchange some mysterious signals, but because their separation is an illusion.

If the separation of particles is an illusion, then at a deeper level, all objects in the world are infinitely interconnected. The electrons in the carbon atoms in our brains are connected to the electrons in every salmon that swims, every heart that beats, and every star that shines in the sky. The universe as a hologram means that we are not

The hologram tells us that we are also a hologram.

Scientists from the Center for Astrophysical Research at the Fermi Laboratory (Fermilab) are now working on the creation of a device "holometer" (Holometer), with which they can refute everything that mankind now knows about the universe.

With the help of the Holometer device, experts hope to prove or disprove the crazy assumption that the three-dimensional universe as we know it simply does not exist, being nothing more than a kind of hologram. In other words, the surrounding reality is an illusion and nothing more.

…The theory that the Universe is a hologram is based on the not so long ago assumption that space and time in the Universe are not continuous.

They allegedly consist of separate parts, dots - as if from pixels, because of which it is impossible to increase the "image scale" of the Universe indefinitely, penetrating deeper and deeper into the essence of things. Upon reaching some value of the scale, the Universe turns out to be something like a digital image of very poor quality - fuzzy, blurry.

Imagine a typical magazine photo. It looks like a continuous image, but, starting from a certain level of magnification, it breaks up into dots that make up a single whole. And also our world is allegedly assembled from microscopic points into a single beautiful, even convex picture.

Amazing theory! And until recently, it was treated lightly. Only recent studies of black holes have convinced most researchers that there is something in the "holographic" theory.

The fact is that the gradual evaporation of black holes discovered by astronomers with the passage of time led to an information paradox - all the information contained about the insides of the hole would then disappear.

And this is contrary to the principle of preservation of information.

But Nobel Prize-winning physicist Gerard t'Hooft, relying on the work of Jerusalem University professor Jacob Bekenstein, proved that all information contained in a three-dimensional object can be stored within the two-dimensional boundaries that remain after its destruction, just like an image of a three-dimensional object. object can be placed in a two-dimensional hologram.

A SCIENTIST HAD A PHANTASM ONCE

For the first time, the “crazy” idea of ​​universal illusoryness was born by the University of London physicist David Bohm, an associate of Albert Einstein, in the middle of the 20th century.

According to his theory, the whole world is arranged in much the same way as a hologram.

Just as any arbitrarily small section of a hologram contains the entire image of a three-dimensional object, so every existing object is “embedded” in each of its constituent parts.

“It follows from this that there is no objective reality,” said Professor Bohm, then with a startling conclusion. “Even in spite of its apparent density, the universe is at its core a phantasm, a gigantic, luxuriously detailed hologram.

Recall that a hologram is a three-dimensional photograph taken with a laser. To make it, first of all, the object to be photographed must be illuminated by laser light. Then the second laser beam, adding up with the reflected light from the object, gives an interference pattern (alternating minima and maxima of the rays), which can be recorded on the film.

The finished shot looks like a meaningless interlayering of light and dark lines. But as soon as the image is illuminated with another laser beam, a three-dimensional image of the original object immediately appears.

Three-dimensionality is not the only remarkable property inherent in a hologram.

If a hologram with an image of, for example, a tree is cut in half and illuminated with a laser, each half will contain a whole image of the same tree in exactly the same size. If we continue to cut the hologram into smaller pieces, on each of them we will again find an image of the entire object as a whole.

Unlike a conventional photograph, each area of ​​the hologram contains information about the entire subject, but with a proportionally corresponding decrease in clarity.

“The principle of the hologram “everything in every part” allows us to approach the issue of organization and order in a completely new way,” explained Professor Bohm. “Throughout most of its history, Western science has evolved with the idea that the best way to understand a physical phenomenon, whether it be a frog or an atom, is to dissect it and study its constituent parts.

The hologram has shown us that some things in the universe cannot be explored in this way. If we dissect something arranged holographically, we will not get the parts of which it consists, but we will get the same thing, but with less accuracy.

AND HERE APPEARED AN EVERYTHING EXPLAINING ASPECT

Bohm's "crazy" idea was also prompted by a sensational experiment with elementary particles in its time. A physicist from the University of Paris, Alan Aspect, discovered in 1982 that, under certain conditions, electrons are able to instantly communicate with each other, regardless of the distance between them.

It doesn't matter if there are ten millimeters between them or ten billion kilometers. Somehow each particle always knows what the other is doing. Only one problem of this discovery was embarrassing: it violates Einstein's postulate about the limiting speed of propagation of interaction equal to the speed of light.

Since traveling faster than the speed of light is tantamount to breaking through a time barrier, this frightening prospect has caused physicists to greatly doubt Aspect's work.

But Bohm managed to find an explanation. According to him, elementary particles interact at any distance not because they exchange some mysterious signals with each other, but because their separation is illusory. He explained that at some deeper level of reality, such particles are not separate entities, but are actually extensions of something more fundamental.

“For better understanding, the professor illustrated his intricate theory with the following example,” wrote Michael Talbot, author of The Holographic Universe. Imagine an aquarium with fish. Imagine also that you cannot see the aquarium directly, but only two television screens that transmit images from cameras located one in front and one on the side of the aquarium.

Looking at the screens, you can conclude that the fish on each of the screens are separate objects. Since the cameras transmit images from different angles, the fish look different. But as you continue watching, after a while you will find that there is a relationship between the two fish on different screens.

When one fish turns, the other also changes direction, slightly different, but always in line with the first. When you see one fish in full face, the other is certainly in profile. If you do not have a complete picture of the situation, you are more likely to conclude that the fish must somehow instantly communicate with each other, that this is not a fact of a coincidence.

“The apparent superluminal interaction between particles tells us that there is a deeper level of reality hidden from us,” Bohm explained the phenomenon of Aspect’s experiments, “of a higher dimension than ours, as in the analogy with an aquarium. We see these particles as separate only because we see only a part of reality.

And particles are not separate “parts,” but facets of a deeper unity that is ultimately as holographic and invisible as the tree mentioned above.

And since everything in physical reality consists of these "phantoms", the Universe we observe is itself a projection, a hologram.

What else a hologram can carry is not yet known.

Suppose, for example, that it is a matrix that gives rise to everything in the world, at least it contains all elementary particles that have taken or will someday take on any possible form of matter and energy - from snowflakes to quasars, from blue whales to gamma rays. It's like a universal supermarket, which has everything.

While Bohm admitted that we have no way of knowing what else the hologram holds, he took the liberty of asserting that we have no reason to assume that there is nothing else in it. In other words, perhaps the holographic level of the world is just one of the stages of endless evolution.

OPTIMIST'S OPINION

Psychologist Jack Kornfield, speaking of his first meeting with the late Tibetan Buddhist teacher Kalu Rinpoche, recalls that the following dialogue took place between them:

Could you explain to me in a few sentences the essence of Buddhist teachings?

“I could do it, but you will not believe me, and it will take you many years to understand what I am talking about.

- Anyway, explain, please, I really want to know. Rinpoche's answer was extremely brief:

You don't really exist.

TIME IS GRANULES

But is it possible to “feel” this illusory nature with instruments? It turned out yes. For several years in Germany, at the gravitational telescope built in Hannover (Germany), GEO600, research has been carried out to detect gravitational waves, space-time fluctuations that create supermassive space objects.

Not a single wave over the years, however, could not be found. One of the reasons is strange noises in the range from 300 to 1500 Hz, which the detector fixes for a long time. They interfere with his work.

Researchers searched in vain for the source of the noise until Craig Hogan, director of the Center for Astrophysical Research at the Fermi Laboratory, accidentally contacted them.

He said he understood what was going on. According to him, it follows from the holographic principle that space-time is not a continuous line and, most likely, is a collection of microzones, grains, a kind of space-time quanta.

“And the accuracy of the GEO600 equipment today is sufficient to fix vacuum fluctuations occurring at the boundaries of space quanta, the very grains that, if the holographic principle is correct, the Universe consists of,” Professor Hogan explained.

According to him, GEO600 just stumbled upon the fundamental limitation of space-time - the same “grain”, like the graininess of a magazine photo. And perceived this obstacle as "noise".

And Craig Hogan, following Bohm, repeats with conviction:

— If the results of GEO600 correspond to my expectations, then we all really live in a huge hologram of universal scales.

The detector readings so far correspond exactly to his calculations, and it seems that the scientific world is on the verge of a grand discovery.

Experts recall that once extraneous noise that pissed off researchers at Bell Laboratory - a large research center in the field of telecommunications, electronic and computer systems - during the experiments of 1964, has already become a harbinger of a global change in the scientific paradigm: this is how the cosmic microwave background radiation was discovered, which proved the hypothesis about the Big Bang.

And scientists are waiting for evidence of the holographic nature of the Universe when the device "Holometer" will work at full capacity. Scientists hope that it will increase the amount of practical data and knowledge of this extraordinary discovery, which still belongs to the field of theoretical physics.

The detector is designed like this: they shine with a laser through a beam splitter, from there two beams pass through two perpendicular bodies, are reflected, come back, merge together and create an interference pattern, where any distortion reports a change in the ratio of the lengths of the bodies, as the gravitational wave passes through the bodies and compresses or stretches space unequally in different directions.

“The Holometer will allow us to zoom in on space-time and see if assumptions about the fractional structure of the universe based on purely mathematical deductions are confirmed,” Professor Hogan suggests.

The first data obtained using the new apparatus will begin to arrive in the middle of this year.

OPINION OF A PESSIMIST

President of the Royal Society of London, cosmologist and astrophysicist Martin Rees: "The birth of the Universe will forever remain a mystery to us"

We cannot understand the laws of the universe. And you will never know how the Universe appeared and what awaits it. Hypotheses about the Big Bang, which allegedly gave rise to the world around us, or that many others can exist in parallel with our Universe, or about the holographic nature of the world, will remain unproven assumptions.

Undoubtedly, there are explanations for everything, but there are no such geniuses who could understand them. The human mind is limited. And he has reached his limit. Even today, we are as far from understanding, for example, the microstructure of the vacuum as the fish in the aquarium, which are completely unaware of how the environment in which they live works.

For example, I have reason to suspect that space has a cellular structure. And each of its cells is trillions of trillions of times smaller than an atom. But we cannot prove or disprove this, or understand how such a construction works. The task is too difficult, transcendent for the human mind - "Russian space".

Computer model of the galaxy

After nine months of calculations on a powerful supercomputer, astrophysicists have managed to create a computer model of a beautiful spiral galaxy, which is a copy of our Milky Way.

At the same time, the physics of the formation and evolution of our galaxy is observed. This model, which was created by researchers at the University of California and the Institute for Theoretical Physics in Zurich, solves a problem facing science that has emerged from the prevailing cosmological model of the universe.

"Previous attempts to create a massive disk galaxy like the Milky Way failed because the model had a bulge (central bulge) that was too large compared to the size of the disk," said Javiera Guedes, a graduate student in astronomy and astrophysics at the University of California and author of a research paper on this model, called Eris (eng. "Eris"). The study will be published in the Astrophysical Journal.

Eris is a massive spiral galaxy with a core of bright stars and other structural objects found in galaxies like the Milky Way. In terms of such parameters as brightness, the ratio of the width of the center of the galaxy and the width of the disk, stellar composition and other properties, it coincides with the Milky Way and other galaxies of this type.

According to co-author Piero Madau, a professor of astronomy and astrophysics at the University of California, a significant amount of money was spent on the implementation of the project, which went to the purchase of 1.4 million processor hours of computing time on a supercomputer on NASA's Pleiades computer.

The results obtained made it possible to confirm the theory of "cold dark matter", according to which the evolution of the structure of the Universe proceeded under the influence of gravitational interactions of dark cold matter ("dark" due to the fact that it cannot be seen, and "cold" due to the fact that particles moving very slowly).

“This model tracks the interaction of more than 60 million dark matter particles and gas. Its code includes the physics of processes such as gravity and fluid dynamics, star formation and supernova explosions - all in the highest resolution of any cosmological model in the world,” Guedes said.

Michael Talbot (1953-1992), an Australian native, was the author of many books highlighting the parallels between ancient mysticism and quantum mechanics and supporting the theoretical model of reality that the physical universe is like a giant hologram.

In 1982 a remarkable event took place. At the University of Paris, a research team led by physicist Alain Aspe carried out what could be one of the most significant experiments of the 20th century. Aspe and his group discovered that under certain conditions, elementary particles, such as electrons, are able to instantly communicate with each other, regardless of the distance between them. It doesn't matter if it's 10 feet or 10 billion miles. Somehow each particle always knows what the other is doing.

The problem with this discovery is that it violates Einstein's postulate about the limiting speed of propagation of an interaction equal to the speed of light. Since traveling faster than the speed of light is tantamount to breaking through a time barrier, this frightening prospect has led some physicists to try to explain Aspe's experiments in complex detours. But it has inspired others to offer even more radical explanations.

For example, University of London physicist David Bohm argued that Aspe's discovery implied that objective reality does not exist, that despite its apparent density, the universe is fundamentally a fantasy, a gigantic, luxuriously detailed hologram.

To understand why Bohm made such a startling conclusion, one has to talk about holograms.

A hologram is a three-dimensional photograph taken with a laser. To produce a hologram, the subject to be photographed must first be illuminated by laser light. Then the second laser beam, adding up with the reflected light from the object, gives an interference pattern that can be recorded on the film. The finished picture looks like a meaningless alternation of light and dark lines. But as soon as the image is illuminated with another laser beam, a three-dimensional image of the original object immediately appears.

Three-dimensionality is not the only remarkable property inherent in a hologram. If a rose hologram is cut in half and illuminated with a laser, each half will contain a whole image of the same rose in exactly the same size. If we continue to cut the hologram into smaller pieces, on each of them we will again find an image of the entire object as a whole. Unlike a conventional photograph, each area of ​​the hologram contains information about the entire subject, but with a proportionally corresponding decrease in clarity.

The principle of the hologram "everything in every part" allows us to approach the issue of organization and order in a fundamentally new way. For almost its entire history, Western science has evolved with the idea that the best way to understand a physical phenomenon, whether it be a frog or an atom, is to dissect it and study its constituent parts. The hologram has shown us that some things in the universe cannot be explored in this way. If we dissect something arranged holographically, we will not get the parts of which it consists, but we will get the same thing, but with less accuracy.

This approach inspired Bohm to reinterpret Aspe's work. Bohm was sure that elementary particles interact at any distance, not because they exchange some mysterious signals with each other, but because their separation is illusory. He explained that at some deeper level of reality, such particles are not separate entities, but are actually extensions of something more fundamental.

To better understand this, Bohm offered the following illustration.

Imagine an aquarium with fish. Imagine also that you cannot see the aquarium directly, but only two television screens that transmit images from cameras located one in front and one on the side of the aquarium. Looking at the screens, you can conclude that the fish on each of the screens are separate objects. Since the cameras transmit images from different angles, the fish look different. But as you keep watching, after a while you will find that there is a relationship between the two fish on different screens. When one fish turns, the other also changes direction, slightly differently, but always in line with the first; when you see one fish in front, the other is certainly in profile. If you do not have a complete picture of the situation, you are more likely to conclude that the fish must somehow instantly communicate with each other than that this is a coincidence.

Bohm argued that this is exactly what happens to elementary particles in the Aspe experiment. According to Bohm, the apparent superluminal interaction between particles tells us that there is a deeper level of reality hidden from us, higher dimensional than ours, as in the aquarium analogy. And, he adds, we see the particles as separate because we only see a part of reality. The particles are not separate "pieces" but facets of a deeper unity that is ultimately as holographic and invisible as the rose mentioned above. And since everything in physical reality consists of these "phantoms", the universe we observe is itself a projection, a hologram.

In addition to being "phantom-like," such a universe could have other amazing properties. If the apparent separation of particles is an illusion, then at a deeper level, all objects in the world can be infinitely interconnected. The electrons in the carbon atoms in our brains are connected to the electrons in every swimming salmon, every beating heart, every twinkling star. Everything interpenetrates everything, and although human nature tends to divide everything, dismember, sort out all the phenomena of nature, all divisions are necessarily artificial, and nature ultimately appears as an unbreakable web. In the holographic world, even time and space cannot be taken as a basis. Because a characterization like position makes no sense in a universe where nothing is really separate from one another; time and three-dimensional space, like images of fish on screens, will need to be considered nothing more than projections. At this deeper level, reality is something like a super-hologram in which the past, present and future exist simultaneously. This means that with the help of appropriate tools, it may be possible to penetrate deep into this super-hologram and extract pictures of a long-forgotten past.

What else a hologram can carry is still far from known. Suppose, for example, that a hologram is a matrix that gives rise to everything in the world, at least it contains all elementary particles that have taken or will someday take on any possible form of matter and energy, from snowflakes to quasars, from blue whales to gamma rays. It's like a universal supermarket, which has everything.

While Bohm admitted that we have no way of knowing what else the hologram holds, he took the liberty of asserting that we have no reason to assume that there is nothing else in it. In other words, perhaps the holographic level of the world is just one of the stages of endless evolution.

Bohm is not alone in his quest to explore the properties of the holographic world. Regardless of him, Stanford University neuroscientist Karl Pribram, who works in the field of brain research, also leans towards the holographic picture of the world. Pribram came to this conclusion by pondering the mystery of where and how memories are stored in the brain. Numerous experiments over decades have shown that information is not stored in any particular area of ​​the brain, but is dispersed throughout the entire volume of the brain. In a series of crucial experiments in the 1920s, brain researcher Carl Lashley discovered that no matter which part of the rat's brain he removed, he could not make the conditioned reflexes developed in the rat before the operation disappear. The only problem was that no one had been able to come up with a mechanism to explain this funny "everything in every part" property of memory.

Later, in the 60s, Pribram encountered the principle of holography and realized that he had found the explanation that neuroscientists were looking for. Pribram is sure that memory is contained not in neurons and not in groups of neurons, but in a series of nerve impulses that “entangle” the brain, just as a laser beam “entangles” a piece of a hologram containing the entire image. In other words, Pribram believes that the brain is a hologram.

Pribram's theory also explains how the human brain can store so many memories in such a small space. It is assumed that the human brain is able to remember about 10 billion bits in a lifetime (which corresponds to about the amount of information contained in 5 sets of the Encyclopædia Britannica).

It was found that another striking feature was added to the properties of holograms - a huge recording density. By simply changing the angle at which the lasers illuminate the film, many different images can be recorded on the same surface. It has been shown that one cubic centimeter of film can store up to 10 billion bits of information.

Our uncanny ability to quickly retrieve the information we need from our vast memories becomes more understandable if we accept that the brain works like a hologram. If a friend asks you what comes to mind when you hear the word "zebra," you don't have to rote through your entire vocabulary to find the answer. Associations like "striped", "horse" and "lives in Africa" ​​appear in your head instantly.

Indeed, one of the most amazing properties of human thinking is that every piece of information is instantly and cross-correlated with every other - another quality inherent in the hologram. Since any section of the hologram is infinitely interconnected with any other, it is quite possible that it is the highest natural example of cross-correlated systems.

The location of memory is not the only neurophysiological puzzle that has become more solvable in light of Pribram's holographic model of the brain. Another is how the brain is able to translate such an avalanche of frequencies that it perceives with various senses (frequencies of light, sound frequencies, and so on) into our concrete idea of ​​the world. Encoding and decoding frequencies is exactly what a hologram does best. Just as a hologram serves as a kind of lens, a transmission device capable of turning a seemingly meaningless mishmash of frequencies into a coherent image, so the brain, according to Pribram, contains such a lens and uses the principles of holography to mathematically process frequencies from the senses into the inner world of our perceptions.

A lot of evidence suggests that the brain uses the principle of holography to function. Pribram's theory finds more and more supporters among neurophysiologists.

Argentinean-Italian researcher Hugo Zucarelli has recently extended the holographic model to the realm of acoustic phenomena. Perplexed by the fact that people can determine the direction of a sound source without turning their heads, even if only one ear works, Zucarelli found that the principles of holography could explain this ability as well.

He also developed holophonic sound recording technology capable of reproducing soundscapes with near-uncanny realism.

Pribram's idea that our brains mathematically construct a "hard" reality based on input frequencies has also received brilliant experimental support. It has been found that any one of our sense organs has a much larger frequency range of receptivity than previously thought. For example, researchers have found that our organs of vision are sensitive to sound frequencies, that our sense of smell is somewhat dependent on what is now called "osmotic frequencies," and that even the cells in our body are sensitive to a wide range of frequencies. Such findings suggest that this is the work of the holographic part of our consciousness, which transforms separate chaotic frequencies into continuous perception.

But the most startling aspect of Pribram's holographic model of the brain comes to light when it is compared with Bohm's theory. Because if the visible physical density of the world is only a secondary reality, and what is “out there” is actually only a holographic set of frequencies, and if the brain is also a hologram and only selects some frequencies from this set and mathematically transforms them into sensory perception, what remains for objective reality?

To put it simply, it ceases to exist. As Eastern religions have been saying from time immemorial, the material world is Maya, an illusion, and although we may think that we are physical and move in the physical world, this is also an illusion.

In fact, we are "receivers" floating in a kaleidoscopic sea of ​​frequencies, and everything that we extract from this sea and turn into physical reality is just one frequency channel out of many, extracted from a hologram.

This striking new picture of reality, a synthesis of the views of Bohm and Pribram, has been called the holographic paradigm, and while many scientists have been skeptical about it, others have been encouraged by it. A small but growing group of researchers believe that this is one of the most accurate models of the world yet proposed. Moreover, some hope that it will help solve some mysteries that have not been previously explained by science and even consider the paranormal as part of nature.

Numerous researchers, including Bohm and Pribram, conclude that many parapsychological phenomena are becoming more understandable in terms of the holographic paradigm.

In a universe in which the individual brain is virtually an indivisible part, a "quantum" of a large hologram, and everything is infinitely connected to everything, telepathy may simply be reaching the holographic level. It becomes much easier to understand how information can be delivered from consciousness "A" to consciousness "B" at any distance, and to explain many mysteries of psychology. In particular, the founder of transpersonal psychology, Stanislav Grof, foresees that the holographic paradigm will be able to offer a model for explaining many of the puzzling phenomena observed by people in altered states of consciousness.

In the 1950s, while researching LSD as a psychotherapeutic drug, Grof worked with a patient who suddenly became convinced that she was a female prehistoric reptile. During the hallucination, she not only gave a richly detailed description of what it is like to be a creature with such forms, but also noted the colored scales on the head of a male of the same species. Grof was amazed by the fact that in a conversation with a zoologist, the presence of colored scales on the head of reptiles, which plays an important role in mating games, was confirmed, although the woman had no idea about such subtleties before.

This woman's experience was not unique. During his research, Grof encountered patients returning up the ladder of evolution and identifying themselves with a wide variety of species (based on the scene of the transformation of man into a monkey in the film Altered States). Moreover, he found that such descriptions often contain little-known zoological details that, when verified, turn out to be accurate.

Return to animals is not the only phenomenon described by Grof. He also had patients who seemed to be able to tap into some sort of area of ​​the collective or racial unconscious. Uneducated or poorly educated people suddenly gave detailed descriptions of funerals in Zoroastrian practice or scenes in Hindu mythology. In other experiences, people gave convincing descriptions of out-of-body travel, predictions of pictures of the future, events of past incarnations.

In later studies, Grof found that the same range of phenomena also appeared in drug-free therapy sessions. Since the common element of such experiments was the expansion of individual consciousness beyond the usual limits of the ego and the boundaries of space and time, Grof called such manifestations "transpersonal experience", and in the late 60s, thanks to him, a new branch of psychology called "transpersonal" psychology appeared, entirely devoted to this areas.

Although the Association for Transpersonal Psychology, founded by Grof, was a rapidly growing group of like-minded professionals and became a respected branch of psychology, neither Grof himself nor his colleagues for many years could offer a mechanism to explain the strange psychological phenomena they observed. But this ambiguous position has changed with the advent of the holographic paradigm.

As Grof recently noted, if consciousness is in fact part of a continuum, a labyrinth connected not only to every other consciousness that exists or has existed, but to every atom, organism, and vast region of space and time, its ability to randomly form tunnels in the labyrinth and experience the transpersonal the experience no longer seems so strange.

The holographic paradigm also leaves its mark on the so-called exact sciences, such as biology. Keith Floyd, a psychologist at Virginia Intermont College, has shown that if reality is just a holographic illusion, then one can no longer argue that consciousness is a function of the brain. Rather, on the contrary, consciousness creates the presence of a brain - just as we interpret the body and our entire environment as physical.

This reversal of our views of biological structures has allowed researchers to point out that medicine and our understanding of the healing process may also change under the influence of the holographic paradigm. If the apparent physical structure of the body is nothing more than a holographic projection of our consciousness, it becomes clear that each of us is much more responsible for our health than modern medicine believes. What we are now seeing as a mysterious cure could in fact be due to a change in consciousness that made appropriate adjustments to the hologram of the body.

Likewise, new alternative therapies such as imaging may work so well precisely because in holographic reality, thought is ultimately as real as "reality."

Even revelations and experiences of the “other world” become explicable from the point of view of the new paradigm. Biologist Lyell Watson, in his book Gifts of the Unknown, describes an encounter with an Indonesian female shaman who, performing a ritual dance, was able to make an entire grove of trees instantly disappear into the subtle world. Watson writes that while he and another surprised bystander continued to watch her, she caused the trees to disappear and reappear several times in succession.

Although modern science is unable to explain such phenomena, but they become quite logical, if we assume that our "dense" reality is nothing more than a holographic projection. Perhaps we can formulate the concepts of “here” and “there” more precisely if we define them at the level of the human unconscious, in which all consciousnesses are infinitely closely interconnected.

If this is true, then this is the most significant implication of the holographic paradigm overall, since it means that the phenomena Watson observed are not public only because our minds are not programmed to trust them, which would make them so. In the holographic universe, there are no limits to the possibilities for changing the fabric of reality.

What we perceive as reality is just a canvas waiting for us to put on it any picture we want. Everything is possible, from bending spoons at will to the phantasmagoric experiences of Castaneda in his studies with don Juan, because magic is given to us by birthright, no more and no less wonderful than our ability to create new worlds in our dreams and fantasies.

Of course, even our most "fundamental" knowledge is suspect, because in a holographic reality, as Pribram showed, even random events must be considered using holographic principles and resolved in this way. Synchronicities or coincidences suddenly make sense, and anything can be seen as a metaphor, because even a chain of random events can express some kind of deep symmetry.

Whether Bohm and Pribram's holographic paradigm gains mainstream scientific acceptance or fades into obscurity, it is safe to say that it has already influenced the way of thinking of many scientists. And even if it is found that the holographic model does not adequately describe the instantaneous interaction of elementary particles, at least, as Birbeck College London physicist Basil Healey points out, Aspe's discovery "showed that we must be prepared to consider radical new approaches to understanding reality."

Why does our world look like this and not otherwise? How is it really set up? Why does what we call miracles happen in it, and why do physical laws not always work? Is it possible to learn to control reality and the events that take place around us? There is only one theory that explains all this: the so-called material world simply does not exist.

What happened when there was nothing

People thought about the origin of the Universe in ancient times. Theologians believed that it was created by the Creator several thousand years before our era. But archaeological and paleontological findings prove that the Earth and life on it are at least millions of years old. Much closer to the truth, apparently, was Aristotle, who argued that the Universe has neither beginning nor end and will exist forever ...

For a long time, the Universe was considered static and unchanging, but in 1929 the American astronomer Edwin Hubble discovered that it was constantly expanding. Therefore, it did not always exist, but arose as a result of some processes, he reasoned. This is how the theory of the Big Bang appeared, which gave rise to stars and galaxies billions of years ago. But if nothing existed before the Big Bang, then what led to it?

In 1960, physicist John Wheeler developed the "pulsating universe" theory.

According to it, the Universe has repeatedly gone through cycles of expansion and reverse contraction, that is, there have been at least several such Big Bangs over the entire period of its history. Another theory implies the existence of a proto-universe: first matter should have appeared, and then the Big Bang had already thundered.

Finally, there is a hypothesis of the emergence of the Universe from quantum foam, which is affected by energy fluctuations. "Foaming", quantum bubbles "inflate" and give rise to new worlds. But again, this did not explain the main thing: what existed before the formation of any matter?

The well-known astrophysicists James Hartle and Stephen Hawking tried to resolve the scientific paradox by proposing another theory in 1983. She said that the Universe has no boundaries and its structure is based on the so-called wave function, which determines the various quantum states of particles of matter. This makes possible the existence of many parallel Universes with different sets of physical constants.

Non-physical picture of the world

The main drawback of all scientific models of the formation of the Universe is that until now they have been based on the so-called physical picture of the world. But there may be other worlds! Worlds where the laws of physics don't work.

We are accustomed to the fact that we are surrounded by matter - an objective reality given to us in sensations. And after all sensations at everyone the, individual! Let us recall the same Plato, who believed that there is a world of ideas (eidos), and matter is just a projection of these ideas ... So we come to the most important thing: we are surrounded not by matter at all, but by ideas, images!

Consider the phenomenon of autism. A child, being born, perceives the surrounding world precisely in the form of images and sensations, and not in the form of a set of objects. Over time, he learns to see the world as a whole picture, to establish connections between various objects and concepts.

Autistic people can perceive reality, but cannot analyze it.

But they are able to assimilate a huge amount of "primary" information, which is inaccessible to most of us.

So, the Swedish Iris Johansson, who, suffering from autism, nevertheless managed to adapt to the “normal” world and even get the profession of a teacher and psychologist, is able to feel the so-called “vital energy”. As a child, living in a peasant family where cows were kept, she always saw which of the calves was not destined to survive.

In her youth, Iris worked at a hairdresser and learned, by doing women's hairstyles, to restore the energy potential of clients if he was depleted. Clients left the hairdresser's, feeling an unusual burst of energy. Thanks to this, Iris became a very popular master. Ordinary people are not capable of such miracles.

Illusion Proof

What about magic and religion? Eastern philosophers are convinced that the material world is an illusion, maya. The ancient Slavs divided the world into Reality, Nav and Rule: the world of matter, the world of spirits and the world of the Higher Beginning that controls reality. But what if, with the help of certain rituals, we can influence reality?

Any psychic will tell you that when inducing damage or unconventional treatment of a person, the impact is at the energy level. But here is the specific mechanism of what is happening at this moment, even the most advanced magician will not explain to you. He only knows that in order to obtain a certain result, a certain ritual must be performed. After all, the magician works with ideas, and not with the physical picture of the world.

So how do you make ideas work for you? First of all, you must be aware of the fact that there are parallel realities, the number of which, perhaps, tends to infinity. And they are not “out there”, but surround us. Only we do not notice the process of "transition" from one reality to another. Or we notice, but perceive it as a miracle. Let's say something disappears and then reappears.

Seeing something unusual, we immediately take the vision for a hallucination, while, most likely, we managed to look into one of the many parallel worlds. By the way, we are used to perceiving reality as something stable and orderly, but people with some brain disorders are able to see it for what it really is, which is usually perceived by us as nonsense and gives reason to twist a finger at the temple.

materialization phenomenon

Once a brilliant quantum physicist, Hugh Everett proposed that any thought or action leads to a choice that shapes the so-called reality. At the same time, "unrealized" variants continue to exist, as it were, in parallel.

For example, you took the same road, got stuck in traffic, and were late for a job interview, as a result of which you did not get it. We went another one - we arrived at the place on time, and the interview was successful. Is it possible to "step over" from one "branch" of multiple realities to another? That's what we do when we're trying to make our lives better.

Vadim Zeland illustrated this very well in his series of books “Reality Transurfing”. He explains why strong desires often do not come true. If we really want something, then excess potential arises, and reality begins to restore balance. No wonder there is a saying: "If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans."

In recent years, there has been a stir around the Simoron system. In essence, we are offered a variant of the so-called positive thinking, but with the use of various kinds of ritual actions. How it works? A person “shatters” the boundaries of the usual picture of the world (simoronists call it PKM) and falls on the “wave” that is more desirable for him.

For example, Simoronists call for more frequent jumping into another world. How? It's very simple - jump off a chair or bed, saying to yourself: I'm jumping for a new job, for a new apartment, for my soul mate, and so on.

Matter versus chaos

But why do we need an objective reality at all? Wouldn't it be better to be in a world of illusions, since they can be manipulated as you like?

The fact is that the material world is a kind of protection from chaos. Imagine that you are on a tiny island in the middle of an endless sea. At least you have solid ground under your feet, and if you throw yourself into the waves, they will carry you who knows where.

Most likely, once people really saw the world as chaotic as it really is. And they themselves created the so-called physical reality in order to avoid unwanted metamorphoses. In essence, such a theory explains everything: UFOs, and the appearance of ghosts, and telepathy, and clairvoyance ... After all, in the "true" world there are no boundaries, and anything can happen in it.

But if our world is illusory, then there must be some primary principle that gave birth to it. This is the mystery of God. If all this is indeed the case, then who created him himself? It is unlikely that there will be at least one scientist or philosopher who can answer this question, since, most likely, our limited consciousness simply cannot comprehend the answer.

British scientists from Oxford proved the existence of parallel worlds. The head of the scientific team, Hugh Everett, explained this phenomenon in detail, writes MIGnews on Friday.

Albert Einstein's theory of relativity was the result of the creation of the hypothesis of parallel worlds, which perfectly explains the nature of quantum mechanics. It also explains the existence of parallel worlds even on the example of a broken mug. There are a huge number of outcomes of this event: the mug will fall on the person's leg and not break as a result, the person will be able to catch the mug in the fall. The number of outcomes, as previously stated by scientists, is unlimited. The theory had no actual background, so it was quickly forgotten. In the course of Everett's mathematical experiment, it was found that, being inside an atom, one cannot say that it really exists. To establish its dimensions, it is necessary to take a position "from the outside": measure two places at the same time. So scientists have established the possibility of the existence of a huge number of parallel worlds.

Parallel world: Will a person be able to live in another dimension?

The term "parallel world" has been familiar for a long time. People have thought about its existence since the beginning of the origin of life on Earth. Belief in other dimensions appeared with man and was passed down from generation to generation in the form of myths, legends and tales. But what do we modern people know about parallel realities? Do they really exist? What is the opinion of scientists on this matter? And what awaits a person if he gets into another dimension?

The opinion of official science

Physicists have long been saying that everything on Earth exists in a certain space and time. Humanity lives in three dimensions. Everything in it can be measured by height, length and width, therefore, within these frameworks, the understanding of the universe is concentrated in our minds. But official, academic science recognizes that there may be other planes that are hidden from our eyes. In modern science there is a term "string theory". It is difficult to understand, but is based on the fact that there is not one, but several spaces in the Universe. They are invisible to humans because they exist in a compressed form. There can be from 6 to 26 such measurements (according to scientists).

In 1931, the American Charles Fort introduced a new concept of "place of teleportation". It is through these sections of space that you can get into one of the parallel worlds. It is from there that the poltergeist, ghosts, UFOs and other supernatural entities come to people. But since these "doors" open in both directions - to our world and one of the parallel realities - then it is possible that people can disappear into one of these dimensions.

New theories about parallel worlds

The official theory of a parallel world appeared in the 50s of the twentieth century. It was invented by mathematician and physicist Hugh Everett. This idea is based on the laws of quantum mechanics and probability theory. The scientist said that the number of possible outcomes of any event is equal to the number of parallel worlds. There can be an infinite number of such options. Everett's theory has been criticized and discussed in the circles of scientific luminaries for many years. Recently, however, professors from the University of Oxford have been able to logically confirm the existence of realities parallel to our plane. Their discovery is based on the same quantum physics.

The researchers proved that the atom, as the basis of everything, as the building material of any substance, can occupy a different position, that is, appear simultaneously in several places. Like elementary particles, everything can reside at several points in space, that is, in two or more worlds.

Real examples of people moving into a parallel plane

In the middle of the 19th century in Connecticut, two officials, Judge Wei and Colonel McArdle, got caught in a thunderstorm and decided to hide from them in a small wooden hut in the forest. When they entered there, the sounds of thunder ceased to be heard, and around the travelers there was deaf silence and pitch darkness. They found a wrought-iron door in the darkness and peered into another room filled with a faint greenish glow. The judge went in and disappeared instantly, and McArdle slammed the heavy door, fell to the floor and lost consciousness. Later, the colonel was found in the middle of the road far from the location of the mysterious building. Then he came to his senses, told this story, but until the end of his days he was considered crazy.

In 1974, in Washington, one of the employees of the administrative building, Mr. Martin, went outside after work and saw his old car not where he had left it in the morning, but on the opposite side of the street. He approached it, opened it and wanted to go home. But the key suddenly did not fit the ignition. In a panic, the man returned to the building and wanted to call the police. But inside, everything was different: the walls were of a different color, the telephone was gone from the lobby, and there was no office on its floor where Mr. Martin worked. Then the man ran outside and saw his car where he had parked it in the morning. Everything returned to its usual places, because the employee did not report the strange incident that happened to him to the police, and told about it only many years later. Probably, for a short time, the American fell into a parallel space.

In an ancient castle near Comcrieff in Scotland, two women disappeared on the same day. The owner of the building named McDougley said that strange things happen in it and there are old occult books. In search of something mysterious, two elderly ladies secretly climbed into the house, which the owner left after an old portrait fell on him one night. The women went into the space in the wall, which appeared after the fall of the picture, and disappeared. Rescuers could not find them or traces of tartans. There is a possibility that they opened a portal to another world, went into it and did not return.

Will people be able to live in another dimension?

There are different opinions about whether it is possible to live in one of the parallel worlds. Although there are many cases of people transitioning to other dimensions, none of those who returned after a long stay in another reality made their journey successfully. Some have gone mad, others have died, and still others have suddenly grown old.

The fate of those who passed through the portal and ended up in another dimension forever remained unknown. Psychics constantly say that they are in contact with creatures from other worlds. Proponents of ideas about anomalous phenomena say that all people who are missing are in those planes that exist parallel to ours. Maybe everything will be cleared up if there is a person who can get into one of them and return back, or if the missing suddenly start to appear in our world and accurately describe how they lived in a parallel dimension.

Thus, parallel worlds can be another reality that has remained practically unknown for all the millennia of human existence. Theories about them so far remain only conjectures, ideas, conjectures, which modern scientists have only explained a little. It is likely that the universe has many worlds, but do people need to know about them and get into them, or is it enough for us to simply exist peacefully in our space.

Ecology of knowledge. Science and Discovery: One of the cornerstones of modern astrophysics is the cosmological principle. According to him, observers on Earth see the same thing as observers from anywhere else in the universe, and that the laws of physics are the same everywhere.

The universe is a hologram! This means that we are not!

There is growing evidence that some parts of the universe may be special.

One of the cornerstones of modern astrophysics is the cosmological principle. According to him, observers on Earth see the same thing as observers from anywhere else in the universe, and that the laws of physics are the same everywhere.

Many observations support this idea. For example, the universe looks more or less the same in all directions, with roughly the same distribution of galaxies on all sides.

But in recent years, some cosmologists have begun to question the validity of this principle.

They point to evidence from Type 1 supernovae, which are moving away from us at an ever-increasing rate, indicating not only that the universe is expanding, but that the expansion is accelerating.

Curiously, the acceleration is not the same for all directions. The universe is accelerating faster in some directions than in others.

But how reliable are these data? It is possible that in some directions we observe a statistical error, which will disappear with the correct analysis of the data obtained.

Rong-Jen Kai and Zhong-Liang Tuo, from the Institute of Theoretical Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, rechecked data from 557 supernovae from all parts of the universe and recalculated.

Today they confirmed the presence of heterogeneity. According to their calculations, the fastest acceleration occurs in the constellation Chanterelles of the northern hemisphere. These data are consistent with data from other studies, according to which there is an inhomogeneity in the cosmic microwave background radiation.

This may lead cosmologists to come to the bold conclusion that the cosmological principle is wrong.

An exciting question arises: why is the Universe inhomogeneous and how will this affect existing models of the cosmos?

Get ready for a galactic move

Milky Way

According to modern concepts, the habitable zone of the galaxy (Galactic Habitable Zone - GHZ) is defined as a region where there are enough heavy elements to form planets on the one hand, and which is not affected by cosmic cataclysms on the other. The main such cataclysms, according to scientists, are supernova explosions, which can easily "sterilize" the entire planet.

As part of the study, scientists built a computer model of the processes of star formation, as well as type Ia supernovae (white dwarfs in binary systems that steal matter from a neighbor) and II (explosion of a star with a mass of more than 8 solar). As a result, astrophysicists have been able to identify regions of the Milky Way that are theoretically habitable.

In addition, scientists have found that around at least 1.5 percent of all stars in the galaxy (that is, approximately 4.5 billion out of 3 × 1011 stars) habitable planets could exist at different times.

At the same time, 75 percent of these hypothetical planets should be in tidal capture, that is, constantly “look” at the star with one side. Whether life is possible on such planets is a matter of dispute among astrobiologists.

To calculate GHZ, scientists used the same approach that is used in the analysis of habitable zones around stars. Such a zone is usually called the region around the star, in which liquid water can exist on the surface of a rocky planet, reports Lenta.ru.

Our universe is a hologram. Does reality exist?

The nature of the hologram - "the whole in every part" - gives us a completely new way of understanding the structure and order of things. We see objects, for example, elementary particles, separated because we see only a part of reality.

These particles are not separate "parts" but facets of a deeper unity.

At some deeper level of reality, such particles are not separate objects, but, as it were, an extension of something more fundamental.

Scientists came to the conclusion that elementary particles are able to interact with each other regardless of the distance, not because they exchange some mysterious signals, but because their separation is an illusion.

If the separation of particles is an illusion, then at a deeper level, all things in the world are infinitely interconnected.

The electrons in the carbon atoms in our brains are connected to the electrons in every salmon that swims, every heart that beats, and every star that shines in the sky.

The universe as a hologram means that we are not

The hologram tells us that we are also a hologram.

Scientists from the Center for Astrophysical Research at the Fermi Laboratory (Fermilab) are now working on the creation of a device "holometer" (Holometer), with which they can refute everything that mankind now knows about the universe.

With the help of the Holometer device, experts hope to prove or disprove the crazy assumption that the three-dimensional universe as we know it simply does not exist, being nothing more than a kind of hologram. In other words, the surrounding reality is an illusion and nothing more.

…The theory that the Universe is a hologram is based on the not so long ago assumption that space and time in the Universe are not continuous.

They allegedly consist of separate parts, dots - as if from pixels, because of which it is impossible to increase the "image scale" of the Universe indefinitely, penetrating deeper and deeper into the essence of things. Upon reaching some value of the scale, the Universe turns out to be something like a digital image of very poor quality - fuzzy, blurry.

Imagine a typical magazine photo. It looks like a continuous image, but, starting from a certain level of magnification, it breaks up into dots that make up a single whole. And also our world is allegedly assembled from microscopic points into a single beautiful, even convex picture.

Amazing theory! And until recently, it was treated lightly. Only recent studies of black holes have convinced most researchers that there is something in the "holographic" theory.

The fact is that the gradual evaporation of black holes discovered by astronomers with the passage of time led to an information paradox - all the information contained about the insides of the hole in this case would disappear.

And this is contrary to the principle of preservation of information.

But Nobel Prize-winning physicist Gerard t'Hooft, relying on the work of Jerusalem University professor Jacob Bekenstein, proved that all information contained in a three-dimensional object can be stored within the two-dimensional boundaries that remain after its destruction, just like the image of a three-dimensional object. object can be placed in a two-dimensional hologram.
