World Science Festival — Season 1, Episode 3: A Thin Sheet of Reality: The Universe as a Hologram
Documentary, Talk • 30 min • 2 seasons, 24 episodes
Episode synopsis
What we touch. What we smell. What we feel. They’re all part of our reality. But what if life as we know it reflects only one side of the full story? Some of the world’s leading physicists think that this may be the case. They believe that our reality is a projection—sort of like a hologram—of laws and processes that exist on a thin surface surrounding us at the edge of the universe.
