      Jesus loves you ❤️. He is waiting for you with open arms and he longs to be with you. Please repent and turn to him before it is too late. The last days written about in the Bible are already happening in the world. God sent his son Jesus to die for our sins on the cross. This was the ultimate expression of God's love for us. Then God raised Jesus from the dead on the third day. In Jesus you will find perfect rest and peace. Peace that the world cannot offer. Peace that none of our earthly and sinful desires can bring us. The peace Jesus offers is what your heart longs for. His love for you is greater than any pain. He thought of you as he hung on that cross. He gave up everything for you just for the chance that you might love him back. I used to hate God, and I was completely against him but I realised that I was on a dangerous path maybe even close to approaching a point of no return. I needed him and I deeply longed to finally come to a place of peace and rest which I only found in him and his perfect love. Please turn to Jesus. He is waiting for you with open arms.

    Wonderfully explained for those of us that don't 'live' in that world but like a glimpse of it from time-to-time. As you so eloquently state "nobody really understands this - yet". The wonderful thing about Newtonian physics is that we can reach out and touch it - we can relate because it is the world we live in. In the Quantum world nothing makes physical sense and you have to do a deep dive mathematically to get any understanding at all. I'll be on the lookout for Brian Cox from now on.

    I recommend watching the most recent episode of PBS SpaceTime here on youtube. It covers this exact topic of a holographic universe and explains (in a way we layman can understand, while showing the math if interested), how this thermodynamic theory had Newtons Gravity "fall out" of it. The original theory of gravity just arising in thermodynamic math serendipitously makes me think a hint was found in a bigger picture and that is remarkable.

    A question about 3:50 or thereabouts: contents and addresses.
    Can it be that the 2-d surface really says this is an outer edge of a thing and nested within this 2d surface are contents that live at this address?
    A bit like how a spreadsheet has addresses and data resides in those addresses?
    There has to be some way for example how a vase retains its surface as a vase and all of the components down to quanta levels co-exist in a stable way that is resilient to motions through space. If so it suggests space has its own mechanisms, rules and regulations allowing things to reasonable move through space yet keep an object in a relatively stable state.
    So there is at least some distinction between space and matter and how these interact in ways we know and love so well.

    Brian explaining the surface area being the medium for storing quantum data and understanding black holes kinda reminds me of an anology to calculus, in how deriving the surface area of a sphere (or a black hole) will give you its volume. Its like the traditional storage medium of our world is the volume but if you were to integrate over our traditional sense, we'd somehow end up in a quantum context, and vice versa by deriving.

    Take a diamond cut jewel. We don't admire it by it's material. We admire it by how light gets reflected on its facets, which are on its surface. And it is ON THE SURFACE that we imprint our "information".
    My guess is black holes follow the same idea. Problem is: nothing gets pass/through them so we have to way to see or interpret the information it holds.

      I think what you are saying is that maybe we define information in such a way that ignores the information that is stored within the volume and it is not that information doesn't exist throughout it entire body, but that we don't allow ourselves to recognize all of the information. In otherwords, we need to change our definition of information to be able to recognize all of it. If this is what you meant then I agree.

      So information is captured in 3D and stored on the surface of a Black Hole in 2D. The third dimension, ‘depth’, is sucked into the Black Hole, inside which space and time is absent. 3D information is fully reconstructable from the ‘flat’ 2D information trapped on the event horizon ‘surface’ of the Black Hole at any time (like T-line shorthand leaves most vowels out of words but they are still recognisable enough to be understandable). This process can safely preserve information within Quantum computers. That’s as far as I can get from Professor Brian Cox’s mini masterclass which is brilliant, as usual. Any helpers?

    If you can't fully comprehend this video as I do, especially the information and black hole part, I asked ChatGPT; it pointed out the "black hole information paradox." I found it helps; I feel I should leave a comment here about it.
    In physics, information refers to a system's physical state. According to quantum theory, information cannot be destroyed. However, black holes pose a paradox: when something falls into a black hole, it seems like the information about that object is lost to the outside universe, contradicting the principle that information cannot be destroyed. This is known as the black hole information paradox.
    Quantum mechanics introduces the idea that particles behave probabilistically. Near or inside black holes, quantum effects are significant. One of the theoretical solutions to the black hole information paradox involves quantum mechanics, suggesting that information isn't lost but rather scrambled and potentially emitted back out via Hawking radiation, a form of thermal radiation predicted to be released by black holes.

    I don't think a lot of people will be easily eager to release informations in order to avoid errors just as they're not easily eager to let go of what they believe they know in order to open space to what they don't know yet. But this transition is unavoidable. For some it's like walking blindfolded around a cliff, for others it's a exciting free jump into the unknown. You either trust the universe or you don't I guess.

    Black Holes:
    Black holes are cosmic zip folders/files; data within is maximally compressed - but not infinitely. It's why black holes vary in size, rather than all being homogeneous.
    Eventually when our cosmic tensions ease (heat death), all black holes will express their stored data/information in simultaneity - what humans refer to as 'big bangs'. The infinite cycles of Nature.

      Slightly different, not all blackholes will _go off_ simultaneously, and after hawking radiation evaporates the information, the blackhole will explode as the *last* fireworks 💥 in our universe.
      But that’s trillions upon trillions of years in future. So we can just chill in the few billion years our human race exists. lol 😅

    A passage from some religious texts seems to allude to this in a conceptual matter which I found interesting (in terms of reality being more related to a surface or holograph):
    "The universe came into being and exists because I AM. It is My reflection in matter. As a man remains unaffected by the manifestations of his shadow, so do I remain unaffected by the material creation. As heat comes forth from fire and contains its essence and nature, though it is not fire, neither has it the substance of fire, so does My creation relate to Me. I am as an object reflected in water. The water may not know the reflection or find it within itself, but this inability has no effect on the reality of the object, nor on the fact of its reflection. It is as a man looking into clear water on a calm day sees his reflection therein, but if the wind blows the image becomes distorted, and if the sun hides its face, the image disappears. Yet, none of these effects touches upon the image itself, nor upon that which casts the image. When the wind drops, the cloud vanishes and the sun reappears, both distortion and deception end, and the reality is again reflected. Within My creation is My Spirit, which supports it, and this Spirit is the bond between My creation and Myself. No man acknowledges the air because it is still, but when this same air becomes a whirlwind men give it their whole attention. With Me, all is real, while with man all is illusion; but man may abandon his illusions in seeking Me, and he will thereby discover reality. I am the Reality Behind the Reflection; I am the Uncaused Cause; I am the Unknown God veiled from man by man's mortal limitations."

    Makes sense given the rudimentary explanation of space/time provided by Einstein. A literal fabric of existence, where "volume" is imperceptible to inhabitants of the fabric. Anything with mass thus romantically tries to defy those rules by creating this "volume" of quantum possibility where otherwise there is only one path.

    Is the information stored in a black is hole equivalent to its surface area, because if the information goes deeper it gets destroyed? A bit like a continuous recording on an SD card replaces/destroys old data with new? Theoretically if you could reverse time you could see the old data, but we don’t know how to reverse time, so we only see the latest data? Just a thought.
