The Holographic Universe
Physicists are discovering more and more evidence suggesting that the universe is holographic in nature. Elon Musk is a household name that believes we live in a simulation and the concept has been discussed by reputable physicists on renowned platforms such as World Science Festival and TED Talks.
The concept is based on a number of principles. These principles include the idea that everything you experience is how your brain (‘your consciousness filter for to experience this reality’) is decoding waves and electrical signals. Your brain perceives information in ‘the field’ to make up this reality.
For example, if you touch the surface of something, the sensation of feeling the surface is your brain decoding those signals into the sensation of touch. If you hear something, it is your brain decoding those signals into sound. If you see something with your eyes, your brain decodes those signals to show imagery and so on for each sense.
Physicists have found that the human eye can only see 0.0035% of reality. The entire rainbow of radiation observable to the human eye only makes up about 0.0035% of the electromagnetic spectrum.
One famous experiment that is often referred to regarding the Holographic Universe is the Double Slit Experiment. This experiment shows that seemingly solid particles act as waves until observed by consciousness. The act of observing particles directly effects their behaviour. More can be read on this here.
Former NASA physicist Tom Campbell also favours the Holographic Universe concept. He refers to the Double Slit Experiment when explaining why he believes that consciousness is the primary source of reality and matter is dependant on consciousness. This is because the act of conscious observation effects the way particles behave.
Nikola Tesla was quoted in saying, “If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” Albert Einstein was quoted, “Concerning matter, we have been all wrong. What we have called matter is energy, whose vibration has been so lowered as to be perceptible to the senses. There is no matter.” These are two of the greatest scientific minds implying that ‘physical’ matter is secondary to ‘non-physical’ vibration/waves (consciousness/thoughts).
Many reputable physicists describe consciousness as infinite, limitless and non-local (not bound by space and time). Deepak Chopra also raises the fact that the top two unsolved mysteries in science are:
- What’s the universe made of?
- What’s the biological basis of consciousness?
His definition of consciousness is:
“Consciousness is the subject of all experience. It’s what experiences everything. The mind is made out of consciousness, it’s a modifies form of consciousness. We have unique minds, but share the same consciousness.”
Erwin Rudolf Josef Alexander Schrödinger, one of the pioneers of quantum mechanics definition of consciousness is:
“You can’t divide or multiply consciousness. It’s formless, infinite, spaceless, timeless, irreducible, fundamental, unimaginable, but the source of imagination. It cannot be conceptualized, but is the source of conception. It cannot be perceived, but is the source of perception.”
“We are asleep. Our Life is a dream. But we wake up sometimes, just enough to know that we are dreaming,” Ludwig Wittgenstein.
When looking into subjects such as life after death, a recurring message is that you are infinite awareness having a human experience; you’re a soul that has embodied your body which filters everything else out so that you only perceive this level of reality for this experience.

Note that further down in the article, there are videos where physicists discuss that consciousness precedes the Big Bang and that consciousness is the creator of our reality. Also, there is more content on the mathematical nature of the universe in our Fibonacci Code/Golden Ratio article here.
