Imagine for a minute a universe that is flat. This universe is created in three dimensional images that we see and experience as if they are certain reality but in fact it is simply dimensions we experience in a specific moment in time. Imagine a reality whose composition is created by an infinite number of probabilities constructed by the power of the collective. Imagine such a reality is an expression of the collective choice we make every day but keep in mind such a reality is still one potential aspect or one fraction or one spec of light illumination of one given probability. Plato talked about shadows and images long time ago. I did not really understand him until I read about this potential holographic universe.
The Holographic Principle outlines such a universe! This principle is a combination of quantum gravity and string theory where the description of space or volume is an information structure decoded as a reflection of a boundary to a region. Take the holographic principle and apply it to the universe as if it is a two dimensional information structure reflecting off the cosmological horizon! The reflection of the reality of this universee is determined based on probabilities. Nothing is predetermined in such a world, and nothing is planned. The universe is simply the reflection of the sum of probabilities chosen by our collective minds. How we choose to shape it is a choice we make everyday. But then again such a universee has no "days" ... it is a world where there is no time or space or mass. These dimensions collapse in a holographic world. Time as a measure of past, future, and present is happening at the same time. What we see unfold before our own eyes is simply the reflection of our choices rendered holographically to us in the collective.
Initially, such theory and such ideas did not make much sense to me. But if you think that life and the universe unfolds its reality based on choices we make would this not mean we are ultimately responsible for all the reflections we see in life. Poverty, hunger, destruction, pollution, wars, and suffering pervade our lives and in the collective. Is that a choice we have made? Can we choose to change life's miserable reflections and ultimately create a beautiful universe where peace and kindness paint a better place. M-theory, string-theory, and the holographic principle ... say we possibly can.
