The Holometer experiment

[Aidoneus]

Although this press release from Fermilab does not seem to have been written by anyone from a physics background, and thus contains some egregious misstatements, it may interest others on our forum for the implications concerning a discrete versus continuous universe--rather than the old and contentious hypothesis of a holographic universe. A notion that science fiction writer Philip K. Dick published in his Exegesis addendum to Valis (1981) and speculated about by physicist David Bohm in Wholeness and the Implicate Order (1980).

I have long speculated that a discrete, non-dense space-time was the answer to Zeno.

BTW, I recall a conversation from about 1982 with a rabbi in which I told him of P.K. Dick's idea that the Torah was a hologram that encoded all divine knowledge. He was delighted by the metaphor.
