Quantum physics, space documentary, and the fabric of reality—these are not just abstract ideas but the keys to unlocking the mysteries of existence. What is reality? Is it an illusion, a simulation, or something far beyond our comprehension? In this mind-expanding documentary, we explore the very fabric of the universe, from the bizarre behavior of quantum mechanics to the cosmic forces shaping space and time.

The universe is a grand puzzle, and science has only begun to unravel its secrets. Quantum physics reveals a world where particles exist in multiple states at once, where time behaves unpredictably, and where observation itself shapes reality. But how does this strange quantum realm connect to the vast expanse of space? Is the fabric of reality woven with unseen forces that govern everything, from black holes to the flow of time itself?

This space documentary takes you on a journey through the cutting-edge theories that challenge our understanding of the cosmos. Could our universe be a hologram? Is time an illusion? Do parallel realities exist beyond our perception? With stunning visuals, expert insights, and mind-bending concepts, we push the boundaries of what we know about existence.

Theoretical physicists have long been trying to devise a complete theory of gravity that would also account for quantum mechanics phenomena, as existing models do not. Such a theory could collectively explain the many intricate physical and cosmological phenomena observed over the past decades.

Researchers at University of Maryland and University of British Columbia recently carried out a theoretical study exploring the possibility that holography, an approach to that includes some features of conventional holograms, could be used to describe quantum mechanical phenomena. Their paper, published in Physical Review Letters, introduces a theoretical argument that could suggests a link between observable cosmological phenomena and the that would underpin wormhole spacetimes.

“Coming up with a theory of gravity that includes the physics of quantum mechanics has been a major forefront area in for decades,” Mark Van Raamsdonk, one of the researchers who carried out the study, told Phys.org. “This is necessary to really understand the physics of black holes and the Big Bang, and to make progress towards a fully unified theory of physics.

Optical information encoded in holograms is transferred by means of ultrashort laser filaments propagating in highly nonlinear and turbulent media. After propagation, the initial optical information is completely scrambled and cannot be retrieved by any experimental or physical modeling system. Yet, we demonstrate that neural networks trained on experimental data provide a robust way to fully recover the original hologram images. Remarkably, our approach demonstrates the ability to decode intricate spatial information, marking a significant advancement in information retrieval from chaotic media, with applications in secure free-space optical communications and cryptography.

WASHINGTON — As the demand for digital security grows, researchers have developed a new optical system that uses holograms to encode information, creating a level of encryption that traditional methods cannot penetrate. This advance could pave the way for more secure communication channels, helping to protect sensitive data.

“From rapidly evolving digital currencies to governance, healthcare, communications and social networks, the demand for robust protection systems to combat digital fraud continues to grow,” said research team leader Stelios Tzortzakis from the Institute of Electronic Structure and Laser, Foundation for Research and Technology Hellas and the University of Crete, both in Greece.

In today’s world, the fight against counterfeiting is more critical than ever. Counterfeiting affects about 3% of global trade, posing significant risks to the economy and public safety. From fake pharmaceuticals to counterfeit currency, the need for secure and reliable authentication methods is paramount. Authentication labels are commonly used—such as holograms on bank notes and passports—but there is always a need for new unfalsifiable technologies.

This is where research recently published in Applied Sciences comes into play. Led by a team of scientists from Oxford University, the University of Southampton, and Diamond Light Source, the UK’s national synchrotron, the work focuses on developing a new technology for writing and reading covert information on labels.

This technology leverages the unique properties of Ge2Sb2Te5 thin films, which can change their structure when exposed to specific types of laser light. By using circularly or linearly polarized laser light, the researchers can encode hidden information in these thin films. This information can then be revealed using a simple reading device, making the technology both advanced and accessible.

Thus, when one looks back in time, say by looking at light from a distant galaxy that has traveled billions of years to reach us, this is akin to “zooming out” on the hologram and making its details fuzzier in the process. This zooming out can continue until all the details of the hologram disappear altogether, which in the model of the universe suggested by Hawking and Hertog, would be the origin of time at the Big Bang.

“The crux of our hypothesis is that when you go back in time, to this earliest, violent, unimaginably complicated phase of the universe, in that phase you find a deeper level of evolution, a level in which even the laws of physics co-evolve with the universe that is taking shape,” Hertog said. “And the consequence is that if you push everything even further backward, into the Big Bang, so to speak, even the laws of physics disappear.”

A pioneering technique shows how sound can be used to create entire objects quickly and at once. Researchers at Concordia have developed a novel method of 3D printing that uses acoustic holograms. And they say it’s quicker than existing methods and capable of making more complex objects.

The process, called holographic direct sound printing (HDSP), is described in a recent article in the journal Nature Communications. It builds on a method introduced in 2022 that described how sonochemical reactions in microscopic cavitations regions — tiny bubbles — create extremely high temperatures and pressure for trillionths of a second to harden resin into complex patterns.

Now, by embedding the technique in acoustic holograms that contain cross-sectional images of a particular design, polymerization occurs much more quickly. It can create objects simultaneously rather than voxel-by-voxel.
