Is The Universe a Hologram?

[DRE]

This article made me think of the Matrix. Scientists are trying to find proof that the universe is a hologram.

Is the Universe a Hologram? Physicists Say It's Possible
A team of physicists has provided some of the clearest evidence yet that our Universe could be just one big projection."

Just watched this amazing video that includes a bit of String Theory (which is the theory that they are using to show that the universe might be a hologram):

The universe doesn't exist.

Did not, do not and will not.

I may not be sure about the universe being a hologram but I won't even bother wondering about a multiverse.

The universe being a hologram IS a multiverse theory...
The holographic multiverse is derived from the theory that the surface area of a space can simulate the volume of the region.

Oooooo that is so deep! Maybe someone can invent a new theory to explain that one too......we've had string, how about the rope theory?
