Beschreibung
Hologram Universe explores the groundbreaking idea that our perceived reality might be a projection from a distant, two-dimensional surface, delving into the holographic principle, string theory, and the role of information in shaping our cosmos. This concept suggests the universe operates like a giant hologram, where all the information needed to describe our three-dimensional world is encoded on a distant boundary.
One intriguing aspect is how this framework attempts to reconcile general relativity and quantum mechanics, two theories that clash under extreme conditions, offering a potential unified description of reality. The book embarks on a journey through classical physics, general relativity, and basic quantum mechanics, progressing to explore the historical development of string theory.
It explains the holographic principle by demonstrating how information describing space can be encoded on its boundary and explores evidence from black hole thermodynamics to quantum entanglement. By synthesizing theoretical and experimental insights, Hologram Universe offers a comprehensive yet accessible overview, making complex ideas understandable to a broad audience interested in cosmology, quantum physics, and the nature of reality.
