Pretty crazy! Its amazing too. My appologies if this is the wrong thread I figured it kinda points to a simulation and that would be the orgin.edit on 21-12-2013 by Drilluminati because: (no reason given)edit on 21-12-2013 by Drilluminati because: just in case wrong thread.
Could we be artificial intelligence running on a "computer"?

Or perhaps more likely a replay of information held and projected from the event horizon of a Black Hole and replayed on its surface

The Holographic Universe model is different then a Simulated Universe model.

Can it not be both at the same time...a simulated universe projected holographically?

It could but I think the material contained in your link deals only with the Holographic model.

Neither of the model universes explored by the Japanese team resembles our own, Maldacena notes. The cosmos with a black hole has ten dimensions, with eight of them forming an eight-dimensional sphere. The lower-dimensional, gravity-free one has but a single dimension, and its menagerie of quantum particles resembles a group of idealized springs, or harmonic oscillators, attached to one another.
If that were the case, then the universe would essentially be a hologram – a simpler, flatter cosmos without gravity – that is perceived much the same way that Plato described in his Allegory of the Cave.
“The work culminated in the last decade, and it suggests, remarkably, that all we experience is nothing but a holographic projection of processes taking place on some distant surface that surrounds us,” wrote physicist Brian Greene, of Columbia University. “You can pinch yourself, and what you feel will be real, but it mirrors a parallel process taking place in a different, distant reality.”
Plato compared human perception to some ancient cave-dweller watching shadows flicker across a dimly lit wall, and Green suggests that his metaphor may describe a reality that theoretical physicists are just beginning to map out.
“Reality — not its mere shadow — may take place on a distant boundary surface, while everything we witness in the three common spatial dimensions is a projection of that faraway unfolding,” Greene wrote. “Reality, that is, may be akin to a hologram. Or, really, a holographic movie.”
The holographic principle suggests there’s a two-dimensional surface that contains all the information needed to describe a three-dimensional object – even the universe.

You may find this interesting , I would recommend watching it all but the computer simulation theory part starts at around 38.40 .

A hologram is a collection of interference patterns. Throw some pebbles in a pond and you get interference patterns.
As far as showing that our Universe may holographic in nature. These computer simulations don't really do that. They are not really much more than mathematically curiosities. They didn't come up with a simulation of our Universe.www.nature.com...

But they do provide a hint that maybe general relativity and quantum mechanics can actually be made to play nicely with each other, that string theory may be a valid model. But that's boring so it needs to be prettied up with talk about holograms (and all the misconceptions that people have about what a hologram actually is).

Don't fall for the people stating it must be supernatural because its hard to understand. The new age Gurus will try to do just that.
A decent explanation here.
I hate reality.
No computers, no programmers, no holograms.. just an absence of understanding based on our unfortunate position in reality.

But considering the options...
Unreality is pretty scary.
