Physicists find evidence gravity may be holographic

Original: Gravity seems to be holographic: physicists discover it can collapse the dimensions of space but don't yet know what tha

New research reported by Quanta Magazine suggests gravity behaves in a holographic way, capable of collapsing the dimensions of space itself. Physicists say the finding supports the idea that three-dimensional reality could be encoded on a lower-dimensional surface, but they do not yet understand what this means for the nature of reality. The work is being discussed as a potentially major step in quantum gravity research.

Why now: A new physics result touches on fundamental questions about the nature of space and reality, drawing wide scientific interest.
