Diversion: Is it “2-D is really 3-D” or “3-D is really 2-D”?
2010-10-26 | Filed Under RichardH's Posts |
In his 24 Oct 2010 post, SteveG points us to a Popular Science article, Fermilab is Building a ‘Holometer’ to Determine Once and For All Whether Reality is Just an Illusion. SteveG quotes, “More specifically, they are trying to either prove or disprove the somewhat mind-bending notion that the third dimension doesn’t exist at all, and that the 3-D universe we think we live in is nothing more than a hologram.” SteveG also points to a 45-page (FORTY-FIVE!) proposal for the experiment and, over the phone, he chastises me for not having sufficient scientific curiosity to read either his post or that 45-page proposal.
To which I say, “Blah, blah, BLAH!”
I already KNOW that the boundary between 2-D and 3-D is porous and you will, too, if you watch Brusspup’s video, Incredible Stereo Illusion.

Where is the smiley icon? You always want me to give humorous posts away by putting that flag on the post.
Sharon figured it out before I did.
There is a difference between illusion and real physics.
The real question is “How do you skew the viewership statistics?”
