No, this isn’t about new porno technology.

Anyone out there familiar with the (relatively) new theory of the universe called the Holographic Model? I know it’s not a full-fledged theory yet, but you know what I mean. The idea is presented extremely well in a book called The Holographic Universe by Michael Talbot.

This idea of the universe and human consciousness has shaped my own beliefs about existence, God, and the afterlife today. I just wonder if anyone else here has read about it.  
Oh, and I’m new. Nice place ya got here.
