• Resumen

  • Lewis opines that the holographic universe, an idea born out of the quest to reconcile people's understanding of gravity with the other fundamental forces, has raised its head again, with the claim that "significant evidence" has been found that they live in a hologram. The notion of such a universe comes from a mathematical quirk in string theory, their leading attempt at a theory of everything. This quirk says that within a particular kind of cosmos, they can effectively do away with gravity by reducing the number of dimensions in their mathematical description by one.
