And from this they then postulated the holographic universe theory. Or at least that's something like what I heard on some science show, I might have it all screwed up.

Fascinating but head starting to hurt.

I can't begin to grasp what kind of mechanism would assemble and 'project' that information to maintain the universe. But I think I need to get a book or start researching - I want to learn a bit more about it. Hard to understand what time would mean in this scenario.

It also makes my brain melt down to think of this in conjunction with the expanding cosmos of the Big Bang theory.
