Holographic Principle Could Apply To Our Universe
New submitter citpyrc sends this news from the Vienna University of Technology: The "holographic principle" asserts that a mathematical description of the universe actually requires one fewer dimension than it seems. What we perceive as three dimensional may just be the image of two dimensional processes on a huge cosmic horizon. Up until now, this principle has only been studied in exotic spaces with negative curvature. This is interesting from a theoretical point of view, but such spaces are quite different from the space in our own universe. Results obtained by scientists at Vienna (abstract) now suggest that the holographic principle even holds in a flat spacetime, like ours.
I am pretty sure they have 3 dimensions.
To most slashdotters it remains only a theory

It would seem that ancient wisdom triumphs and we live in a 2D world.
you don't know anything about logic at all do you? Apparently not.. because it is all latin and I don't see any latin here so you are a moron
Well, looks like I'm the only one who thought this was funny. If it was a bit shorter I'd borrow it for my sig.
To have a right to do a thing is not at all the same as to be right in doing it
