As with all things surrounding deep physics, I understand and don't understand this article:
http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=is-space-digital
I actually came across it by reading something from the NPR blog:
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/physics/blog/2012/02/could-simple-experiments-reveal-the-quantum-nature-of-spacetime/
That confused me even more.
The first article mentions the "holographic principle". I first heard about it on NOVA, I think, a program entitled, "What Is Space?"
http://video.pbs.org/video/2163057527
The holographic principle states that all matter is just a holographic projection on the edge of a black hole. I don't know enough about it to know what to think about it. And I wonder if I should care that I'm really just a holographic projection on the event horizon of a black hole. Except that this would allow me to hang out with Captain Jean Luc Picard (although I don't ride horses, dude, and please don't wear those shorts like you do on Risa).
At least it's a bunch of interesting ideas.
