"...For many months, the GEO600 team-members had been scratching their heads over inexplicable noise that is plaguing their giant detector. Then, out of the blue, a researcher approached them with an explanation. In fact, he had even predicted the noise before he knew they were detecting it. According to Craig Hogan, a physicist at the Fermilab particle physics lab in Batavia, Illinois, GEO600 has stumbled upon the fundamental limit of space-time - the point where space-time stops behaving like the smooth continuum Einstein described and instead dissolves into "grains", just as a newspaper photograph dissolves into dots as you zoom in. "It looks like GEO600 is being buffeted by the microscopic quantum convulsions of space-time," says Hogan.
If this doesn't blow your socks off, then Hogan, who has just been appointed director of Fermilab's Center for Particle Astrophysics, has an even bigger shock in store: "If the GEO600 result is what I suspect it is, then we are all living in a giant cosmic hologram."

Crickets in the space modulator.

He must have read _Exterminator!_.

Holograms are soooo Seventies. I think he meant to say "We are all living in a closed loop Universal Social Networking Webservice" which is soooo noughties. Click on My Friend button.

If you tilt your head to the left, I am in a different action pose.
"No one knows what it would mean for us if we really do live in a hologram, yet theorists have good reasons to believe that many aspects of the holographic principle are true."
If NO ONE knows what it MEANS, it's not a scientific theory. It's word salad.

Maybe it's really a giant Magic Eye picture. You have to cross your eyes just right...
