We all live in a giant hologram, a giant hologram, a giant hologram...

Not responsible for head explosions from geek overload.

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."

you mean the "Matrix" was a documentary?

Blamo! Brains on the wall...or whatever the heck it is that appears to be a wall and brains.

Interesting stuff. Problem is everytime I think I start getting a grasp on things, someone changes all the rules.

Does that mean I don't have to go to work tomorrow?

Sometimes I think I'm living in a giant cosmic looney bin!
