Leonard Susskind on The World As Hologram

1. Whenever I hear this guy talk about Alice and Bob, I always wonder what happened to Carol and Ted.
2. How about Death....Where does it fit into this scheme?....Could it be that one can die in one universe and continue living in another?
3. As we observe any part of the universe (the hologram), is our mind itself unfolding (from the holographic data) the 3D reality we experience as humans? In other words, does our one conscious mind decode the hologram upon observation of it?
4. Great
5. It'd be great if Suskind and his Ivy League science friends could wake up and acknowledge the fact that the collapse of the 3 world trade centre buildings was a political hoax and not scientifically possible as per the official story of burning jet fuel.
6. remember a story that came out of Mexico about those 2 cops that claim to  have come face to face with a "real witch" they said it scared the shit out of them and their faces made it seem like they really did see something. it makes ya wonder where all these little bedtime stories came from. the ones about monsters. they used the holograms before to scare the day lights out of simple folk. such ghost stories or hauntings could be related to such things. there is also a video out there of a family that filmed ghost on a wooden path. I think it was on a war memorial but it looked real cool. maybe it was just a hologram. make us think they are demon spirits that are gonna take over our body. change to what ever shape thy want. how would you tell the difference. ones you can touch. crazy shit. get ready.
7. You can squeeze the world to a 2d space without loosing the ingredients it's made of but I don't think you can preserve the interaction between them like atoms or interaction between them that make molecules. The region of space we live in is life-tuned because these interactions are different throughout the universe and we happened to have the right settings by chance otherwise we would've been in a different region. These settings also vary in time not only with space. There are many regions that may be suitable for atoms, molecules and life but other would only be suitable in the future. The universe as a hologram reduce drastically this diversity.
8. If the horizon is a sphere infinitesimal thickness, the moment you compress the space and matter to it you lose the third dimension if space. Imagine a circle in 2d. If you press it and make it a 1d object it will turn to a 2pi•r long line or simply a circle in a 1d curved dimension made of point particles (remember the initial circle was purely in 2d space made of point particles). But if you want to make it a singularly, you loose all the information, which contradicts the law of information. So that explains the horizon.
   However we can also imagine the space squeezed to a very small 3d sphere, and still have the information contained. If the experiments say otherwise then this version is wrong.
   Also a information orbiting on the line of the horizon may explain the holographic black hole.
   This is not necessarily what happens to the entire universe, although it is a possibility.
   The universe can have a shell, just like a black hole horizon. Question is, does the horizon contain all the information in the universe? Second, why do we experience a 3d world?
9. I think my smart phone projection is corrupt or malfunctioning lol because the letter A has changed for me in the logo SAMSUNG!!!!
10. I think my asshole is a black hole
11. Gravity is an external push, nothing to do with so-called mass. Black holes are a lie, yet another lie in a series of many.
12. He is the George Carlin of Science
13. I have an issue with this, and a lot of questions:
    
    If an object is traveling along with momentum and it gets"captured" by the gravity of a black hole, we would need to assume that the hole's attraction is sufficient to overcome the momentum of the object and change it's trajectory to one describing a decaying orbit towards it's center.
    I am ok with the physics up to here, but now if the orbiting object is accelerated equal to the speed of light(c)which is the condition that defines the event horizon, then what happens to c as the limit, once past the horizon? It should continue to accelerate, if the force is an attractor. This brings up one of two possible problems:
    The gravitational pull of the hole must be stronger than the force that the same object could exert while traveling at c - or it could not cause the attraction OR the event horizon would have to be zero, as any point within it's boundary would be one where matter can travel faster than c.
    
    I think this is akin to a hidden "divide by zero" in a theory, that until found, allows the theory to continue.
    It seems to me that this either contradicts the speed of light limit, the existence of black holes, or the way gravity functions.
    Is this maybe a way where we are able to place a limit on what force or range gravity can function at?
14. Somewheres
15. Amazing intelligence to be able to figure all this out, but then to say at the very end it is the product of the machinations of the brains of hairless apes? Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, says in Ecclesiates 3:11, God has "set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end." Surely the field of Quantum Mechanics shows this to be true.
16. Susskind's next talk: Physics theories without experimental predictions and tests. It's a good gig if you can get it.
17. Did he just quote Sherlock Holmes as a famous intellectual?? . . . Hes actually a fictional private detective
18. So what Bob sees is the holographic projection of Alice on the surface of the black hole - and the black hole itself is a hologram. Uni-ception ?
