Читать книгу String Theory For Dummies - Andrew Zimmerman Jones - Страница 29

In the mid-1990s, two physicists came up with an idea called the holographic principle. In this theory, if you have a volume of space, you can take all the information contained in that space and show that it corresponds to information “written” on the surface of the space. As odd as it seems, this holographic principle may be key in resolving a major mystery of black holes that has existed for more than 30 years!

Many physicists believe that the holographic principle will be one of the fundamental physical principles that will allow insights into a greater understanding of string theory. (Check out Chapter 13 for more on the holographic principle.)
