There are also many other quantities that should correspond between gravitational theory and quantum field theory, and examining these correspondences is ongoing work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the theoretical considerations, there\u2019s the entirely different matter of pulling back the illusion and experimentally observing the holographic nature of reality. As it happens, physicists at the Department of Energy\u2019s <i>Fermilab<\/i> are now trying to do just that.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/motherboard.vice.com\/read\/there-is-growing-evidence-that-our-universe-is-a-giant-hologram\" target=\"_blank\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Old post,but interesting\u2026 If the holographic principle does indeed describe our universe, it could help resolve many inconsistencies between relativistic physics and quantum physics, including the black hole information paradox.
