Einstein +mentioned it first I believe. It +is about how two electrons can act +like they are right next to each +other although they are very far +away (lightyears even). For a long +time this puzzled scientists until +someone (not Einstein) figured out +that maybe the universe is a +hologram or projection. So what +appears to be very far apart in +the hologram might actually be +very close in the substrate +reality. + I want to talk about this +effect in literature. In literature +the writer writes words on a +substrate (paper) and later the +reader reads the same words off +the substrate. Although the writer +and reader might be very far apart +from each other in time and space, +they experience the same effect +from reading the words. Even the +writer reading his own words after +he has written them becomes a +reader and feels who he was at +that time, like a ghost. + +PROBLEMS: + Maybe the substrate isn't +paper it's what the writing is +about. Where is the hologram? Are +physics and literature comparable? +What if the universe isn't a +hologram what then? +``` -- cgit 1.4.1-21-gabe81
