Is the Universe a big hologram? This device could find out.

This is an interesting article from the CSM. Perhaps it could explain overlapping theories of space-time.

According to Einstein's view on the universe, space-time should be smooth
and continuous. However, this view may need to be modified as space-time may
be composed of quantum "points" if Hogan's theory is correct. At its finest
scale, we should be able to probe down the "Planck length" which measures
10-35 meters. But the GEO600 experiment detected noise at scales of less
than 10-15 meters.

As it turns out, Hogan thinks that noise at these scales are caused by a
holographic projection from the horizon of our universe. A good analogy is
to think about how an image becomes more and more blurry or pixelated the
more you zoom in on it. The projection starts off at Planck scale lengths at
the Universe's event horizon, but its projection becomes blurry in our local
space-time. This hypothesis comes out of black hole research where the
information that falls into a black hole is "encoded" in the black hole's
event horizon. For the holographic universe to hold true, information must
be encoded in the outermost reaches of the Universe and it is projected into
our 3 dimensional world. (Read full story in the link after the jump)
