Physicist Stephen Hawking's final theory proposes the universe as a holographic projection, where time is encoded as a dimension.
Belgian cosmologist Thomas Hertog, a close friend and collaborator of Hawking, discusses their work commemorating the fifth anniversary of Hawking's death.
Hawking's final theory proposes the universe as a holographic projection, a vast and complex hologram where time is encoded as a dimension.
- The idea of the Big Bang as a quantum creation event evolves into a different view of cosmogenesis from holography.
- The idea of a hologram is that a 3D space can be created from lines and scribbles on a screen.
- Theoretical physicists are discussing the concept of a cosmos-as-hologram where time can be encoded in this way.
In 2017, Hawking spoke to a Hong Kong audience by hologram.
