What a concept. Does this mean there was no big bang or that the big bang was the hologram being turned on. Who flipped the switch?A two dimensional existence means we are data, machine language, ones and zeros, the most awesome interactive video game. Gives even more weight to the idea there is a force out there more interesting than Dark Energy.
