The Holographic Principle and Ultimate Reality - Ostronomos - Jan 28, 2021
A black hole (according to wikipedia), is a region of spacetime exhibiting gravitational acceleration so strong that nothing - no particles or electromagnetic radiation - can escape. As a result, information becomes permanently encoded on the surface of the event horizon.
From this phenomenon, the holographic principle was born. Essentially, it says that a 4-dimensional body can be described only in 2-dimensions. That 2-dimensional information structure is essentially reality. Not what you see around you.
Evidence that the universe is a hologram was confirmed in 2017. It lead scientists to the conclusion that mind is fundamental and the material world emergent. Brian Greene hosted a documentary on it which ended with the words "The paradigm has shifted".
My interpretation is that the 4-dimensional world (since time is considered a dimension) is an illusion and the 2-dimensional information structure that projects it is what is real.
This structure is capable of retroactive self-creation and Quantum entanglement. Therefore it can appear as a mind within the material dimension from ultimate reality.
