A unique experiment at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory called the Holometer has started collecting data that will answer some mind-bending questions about our universe – including whether we live in a hologram.

That's good Rockstar ... have you ever been at sea at night out away from land on a clear calm night
and been surrounded by stars 360 degree's all the way down to the horizon?

Man, that's a lot of stars

They say the light from those stars may have taken thousands and even tens of thousands of years to get here.

Those stars could have already expired and we wouldn't even know it.

There limits to the sensibility of theoretical physics.

What if everything is a hologram but the whole system is so well designed such that if a person ever tried to see if everything was a hologram there was a plan for that and it does not look like a hologram?

What if everything is a hologram of a hologram inside a hologram?

What if we are real and were created by a hologram for a hologram for a hologram is reality.
And if that hologram was created by real beings. So is a hologram of a hologram of a real thing a hologram or a reality ???

Can I use it as a defense in court?

It's all a hologram, therefore nothing is real, not even you your honor.

I am sure a lawyer would be able to convince a jury that you are legally liable for all actions performed by yourself or any hologram or holograms of holograms.

That shocks myself and my holograms.
