PART 3. REALITY

Holographic Principle

Hence, matter is an emergent phenomenon within the framework of the platonic, spiritual universe. The concept of matter goes hand in hand with the concept of gravity, since gravitational fields are known to be created in the presence of mass. If matter is an emergent concept, does this mean that the gravity that accompanies it is also a derivative of the more fundamental physical laws?

According to the holographic principle, this is precisely the case! The famous physicist, Juan Maldacena, proved (using the example of the special case of four-dimensional space) that a gravitation-free world of N-1 dimensions, in which particles interact with one another according to the laws of quantum field theory, is equivalent to the gravitational world of N dimensions. In other words, the gravitational physical system within a given volume is completely described by the gravity-free processes on the surface that limit this volume.

Extrapolating Maldacena's result to our three-dimensional (3D) world, we can conclude that gravity in the 3D world, just like the 3D world itself, appears emergently from the more fundamental laws of quantum mechanics. These laws, operating on the two-dimensional (2D) surface surrounding our world, represent the real physical foundation of our universe.

The holographic principle found its indirect confirmation in the formula for the black hole entropy, discovered by Stephen Hawking and John Wheeler in the 70s. According to this formula, the entropy (i.e. information) of a black hole is proportional to the area of its surface. Let us imagine that a photon with minimum energy enters the black hole (the minimum photon energy is determined by the condition that its wavelength is equal to the black hole's event horizon diameter). This photon represents a minimum unit of information (1 bit). What happens to a black hole when one bit of information is consumed? According to the formula discovered by Hawking and Wheeler, as a consequence, the area of the black hole’s event horizon will increase by one Planck cell! Hence, it can be concluded that the entire volume of information contained in a black hole is stored on the surface of its event horizon, inside cells that are of the size of the Planck length.

Moreover, a black hole is an object with the greatest possible concentration of information. This is due to the fact that any library (with a fixed spatial volume), as more and more books are added to it, will turn into a black hole sooner or later.

From the above, a paradoxical conclusion, consistent with the holographic principle, follows: the maximum amount of information that can be placed in a given volume is proportional not to the volume itself but to the area of the surface surrounding this volume!

Furthermore, the General Relativity Theory (GRT) presents another argument in favor of the holographic principle. According to the GRT, the radial dimension of our space, when passing through the black hole's event horizon, becomes a time dimension inside the black hole. Thus, beyond the event horizon, from the perspective of an external
