THE UNIVERSE IS A HOLOGRAPHIC GHOST

Quote

For me, it is fascinating that the universe is an illusion and that “matter” does not actually exist. Several years ago I read an article that was similar to the article below. Once I was able to grasp the concept, I understood that the only thing that exists is energy. I decided to pass this on for those who desire a greater insight into what this universe is about . . .

THE UNIVERSE IS A HOLOGRAPHIC GHOST
It is all an illusion of the mind. The world is swirling shadows of energy rhythms following the laws of quantum wave mechanics. As solid as the world appears, it is mostly empty space. Matter, is made up of tiny solar systems called atoms, in which minute particles called electrons orbit around larger particles called protons and neutrons.

How can empty space appear to be solid? The answer lies in movement. Movement traces a path. It temporarily fills a void and our consciousness is fooled into thinking that a reality exists which is not really there.

MOTION AND THE ILLUSION OF SOLIDITY
A simple experiment should help clarify this. Imagine a bicycle wheel mounted horizontally in space. Its axis rests on a vertical pole standing on the floor. Like an atom, most of the space between the axis of the wheel and its rim is empty. Only a small portion of the space is taken up by spokes. With the horizontal wheel stationary, it is relatively easy to drop pennies through the spaces between the spokes. They meet with almost no resistance.

If we begin to spin the wheel, however, the pennies begin to encounter spokes and are deflected by them. The faster we spin the wheel, the more pennies are deflected. At any given moment, as a penny falls toward the spokes, the probability that it will be hit by a spoke increases as the speed of the wheel increases. Suppose the wheel were to move incredibly fast (approaching the speed of light) , it would seem to the person dropping pennies, as solid as a table top. If we were to rotate the wheel and gradually change the axis or angle of rotation from the angle at which it was initially spinning and then increase its speed to near the speed of light, the wheel would appear to be a solid sphere.

Similarly, electrons orbit at gradually changing angles at close to the speed of light around the nucleus of an atom. According to Albert Einstein, angular momentum is essentially indistinguishable from gravity. Thus, the atoms would appear to be as solid as marbles to any force that comes in contact with them and would have gravitational attraction. Is our solid universe, in fact, empty space through which electrons and atoms move very quickly in very precise patterns, giving the impression of solid matter?

HOLOGRAPHIC ENERGY FIELDS
"Not necessarily, say the physicists. The particles themselves do not really exist and space is not empty. What does exist are waves of force referred to as matter waves emanating from points in space known as singularity points. Modern research suggests that space, itself, is not empty. In fact, a cubic centimeter of space is filled with energy waves, so much energy that this tiny space is thought by some scientists to contain more energy than that contained by all the matter of the known universe. The matter of the universe is actually little more than relatively permanent swirls and eddies in the fabric of the universal energy pattern. It is those swirls and eddies which are perceived and identified by consciousness as the material world.

These waves of force interact with each other and to our conscious experience they create the sense of permanence and solidity. How they accomplish this may be more easily understood if we think of a force we have probably all experienced, the magnetic force. Two magnets will attract each other if their unlike poles (north and south poles) are brought close together. If two like north poles (or south poles) are brought close together, the magnets push each other away. One can feel the force even though there seems to be nothing between the two magnets.

If the idea of force fields is still unclear, consider another example. When we drop a stone in the water it creates ripples of force in the water. The water itself only moves up and down as the crests and troughs of the waves pass by. It is the waves of force that move away from the place where the stone was dropped. Like the two dimensional water waves, electromagnetic waves or matter waves move outward from their source in three-dimensionally expanding spheres of force. Thus, it is not objects we experience, but the forces created by the swirling movements of energy. These forces interact with our sensory surfaces, which are a part of the same universal holowave, and because they change our interference pattern, we perceive them.

congrats OP, best damn thread of the night.

[link to twm.co.nz] Quoting: Anonymous Coward 407906 I've read The Holographic Universe by Michael Talbot. It's written for the layman but still a but difficult. And it totally resonated with me. Check it out. hbh

it's such a lovely thought

imagine a black, blank, vacuum and then imagine projecting colorful energy into it as if you were painting and sculpting the 4D universe at once like a moving impressionist sculpture

no packet/point/spark is truly fixed - all is in motion - but the different rates (frequencies/vibrations/colors/densities) relative to one another give the impression (from our perspective) that matter is distinct and differnt from space

and it is in many ways - but its all the same too

the universe is a psychedelic energy stew where broth is space and meat and veggies and grains and herbs are different types of matter

we're potatoes, for example. as potatoes/matter in the broth, broth/space permeates everything and goes on for infinity

and we are finally learning that there is a different perspective from which its all stew - broth and chunky stuff alike

awesome thread :-)

Another thing that is interesting to me is that the “negative” for a holographic photograph looks similar to the surface of celestial bodies (like the moon). There is an example of this in the book by Michael Talbot. I have pondered that perhaps we are only able to perceive the “negative” aspect of this holographic universe (beyond earth) and that is why it appears to be so desolate.
