OK kids, here’s how the game is played… I’m going to post an excerpt from either a) a science article or b) the ramblings of a really high douche bag. It’s then up to you to determine which it is… here we go…
"If the GEO600 result is what I suspect it is, then we are all living in a giant cosmic hologram."
Well on the one hand there is a science-y sounding name in there, GEO600… on the other hand it does sound like the kinda crap that hippie that lived down the hall from you freshman year was always going on about…
Give up? It’s ‘A,’ a respected scientist named Craig Hogan who was recently appointed director of Fermilab’s Center for Particle Astrophysics.

Thankfully the article is not as douche-y as similar theories put forth by people like Nick Bostrom (who I think is a cowardly Nancy). Bostrom would jump all over this as evidence that all of creation is just a simulation by a superior intelligence, a la the Matrix, for dark purposes.
