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. "If the GEO600 result is what I suspect it is, then we are all living in a giant cosmic hologram," he said. Our everyday experience might itself be a holographic projection of physical processes that take place on a distant, 2 dimensional surface.
