We live in one Matrix; The Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory συλλέγει πληροφορίες για να εξετάσει αν το Σύμπαν μας είναι τελικά ένα ολόγραμμα, με τη λογική ότι αυτό που παρατηρούμε είναι μια τρισδιάστατη ψευδαίσθηση σε έναν δισδιάστατο κόσμο. Όπως δηλαδή όταν παρακολουθούμε τηλεόραση, βλέπουμε μεν τους χαρακτήρες σε 3 διαστάσεις, αλλά η οθόνη μας είναι two dimensions.
For two years now, research by the University of Bonn has been ongoing, which examines whether our Universe is ultimately a simulation in computer, and now another research institution is preparing to launch a nearly identical experiment.
The researchers have the theory that all of the Universe's information can be divided into "pixels" that are as large as the Planck length unit (1.616 252 (81) × 10-35m). According to quantum theory (Heisenberg's uncertainty principle), it is impossible to know at the same time the position and velocity of the elementary particles. If the universe consists of two-dimensional bits whose size specifies specific information then it would not be feasible to apply the above principle.
So, techgear.gr says, researchers are investigating whether there is a finite limit on the Universe's ability to store information based on the number of these pixels.
The experiment is done using the Holometer, a unique precision hologram interferometer, which can measure infinitesimal vibrations (very small wavelengths).
They place two such interferometers very close together and send from each 1KW laser beam that passes through a beam separator that cuts them into two separate, vertical beams. They then return to the divider and reunite, displaying fluctuations in brightness when they encounter such vibrations.
Researchers analyze these fluctuations to see if the beam splitter moves in a certain way, incited by the supposed fundamental motion of the two-dimensional "pixels" of the Universe.
As Craig Hogan, head of the Fermilab Center for Particle Astrophysics and the Inventor of Theory, says, and Aaron Chou, head of the Holometer
"We want to see if spacetime can be considered quantum system, such as mass. If we notice some noise (vibration) that is not attributable to other sources (eg radio waves from electronic devices) and we cannot cut it out, we may be facing something truly fundamental to nature. A noise inherent in space-time. If confirmed, then the perception we have had of the Universe for thousands of years will change once and for all."
