In the movie Star Wars, Luke Skywalker's adventure begins when a beam of light shoots out of the robot Artoo Deoo and projects a miniature three-dimensional image of Princess Leia. Luke watches spellbound as the ghostly sculture of light begs for someone named Ob-wan Kenobi to come to her assistance. The image is a holgoram, a three-dimensional picture made with the aid of a laser and the technological magic required to make such images is remarkable.
But what is even more astounding is that some scientists are beginning to believe the universe itself is a kind of giant hologram, a splendidly detailed illusion no more or less real than the image of Princess Leia that starts Luke on his quest.
Put another way, there is evidence to suggest that our world and everything in it - from snowflakes to maple trees to falling stars and spinning electrons - are also only ghostly images, projections from a level of reality so beyond our own it is literally beyond both space and time.
The main architects of this astonishing idea are two of the world's most eminent thinkers: University of London physicist David Bohm, a protege of Einstein's and one of the world's most respected quantum physicists; and Karl Pribram, a neurophysiologist at Stanford University and author of the classic neuropsychological textbook Languages of the Brain. Intriguingly, Bohm and Pribram arrived at their conclusions independently and while working from two very different directions.
Bohm became convinced of the universe's holographic nature only after years of dissatisfaction with standard theories' inability to explain all of the phenomena encountered in quantum physics.
Pribram became convinced because of the failure of standard theories of the brain to explain various neurophysiological puzzles.
After arriving at their views, Bohm and Pribram quickly realized the holographic model explained a number of other mysteries as well. But the most staggering thing about the holographic model was that it suddenly made sense of a wide range of phenomena so elusive they generally have been categorized outside of the province of scientific understanding.
Indeed, it quickly became apparent to the ever growing number of scientists who came to embrace the holographic model that it helped explain virtually all paranormal and mystical experiences, and in the last half dozen years or so, it has continued to galvanize researchers and shed light on an increasing number of previously inexplicable phenomena.
Just today, I emailed a friend and explained to him how this model has finally answered the main questions for me and a host of other previously unexplainable things that my 40 search for God/Truth/Love had not only NOT answered, but that had raised more questions.
The theory deserves a look for any seeker of Truth. Click on the book at the top of this page, and take a peek inside for more on this theory.
