- Thanks for typing that long piece in.

- I will read the whole book myself at some point, but I do have a
- couple of comments on what you keyed in.
-
- While quantum mechanics and relativity have some very interesting
- implications, the technology for handling such implications doesn't
- presently exist in physics, as far as I know. (Who knows, maybe my
- theorist friends have been keeping something juicy from me.) The
- hologram, observer effects, relativity; are all anecdotal evidence
- pointing to something interesting. It is still, however, metaphysical
- speculation.
-
- The point I want to make is, physics doesn't 'prove' any of these
- notions of a holographic universe, etc. It is my own feeling that such
- a picture of the universe *cannot* be proved, ever, mathematically,
- because it is beyond proof or disproof, analysis, reason,
- 'objectivity'.
