CHAPTER The holographic universe or the reality of dreams IN HIS INTRODUCTION, HE ARGUED: “more than half a century of research has taught us that the fabric of dreams and the fabric of reality are not so different: information is just as cru- cial an ingredient to the physical world as matter and energy....Infor- mation is a crucial player in physical systems and processes. Indeed, a current trend initiated by John Archibald Wheeler of Princeton Univer- sity is to regard the physical world as made of information, with energy and matter as incidentals.” This is in perfect alignment with absolute relativity: a dream is not a figment of our imagination! In absolute relativity, information brings structure to the ST, and vice versa. Let me point out that Wolfram Research, famous for its powerful and popular software program Mathematica, recently pub- lished a huge book (more than one thousand pages) on a new kind of science, dealing with the creation and the functioning of the universe by information up to the smallest possible scales. May I remind you that the entropy of a physical system is subject to the number of microscopic states the system can be in without affecting its macroscopic state. The entropy therefore increases with time. The notion of entropy is interesting in the sense that our macroscopic world does not know what goes on in the center of the world. The illusion of our reality is very real. That also characterizes the behavior of UFOs. At the same time, in 1948, the formal information theory was founded by mathematician Claude Shannon, who “invented” the bits, or binary digits (0 or 1). Please note that this definition of information does not enlighten us about the value of information, which is as dependent on context (of the software) as a telepathic message. Shannon immedi- ately understood that his definition is the same as Boltzmann’s: the 299
