Scientists from three international research centers issued a joint paper in which an extended relatively new theory about the nature of black holes. Physicists believe that these objects may be similar to the known hologram.
the Corresponding release appeared on the website of the International school for advanced studies SISSA, the whole work can be found in the journal Physical Review X, and briefly about it tells EurekAlert.
According to a new study, black holes may be like a hologram. In the past all information is stored in a two-dimensional system that has the ability to reproduce three-dimensional image.
the Authors believe that the principle of “actions” of a black hole can be similar. Quantum theory claim that these mysterious space objects can be incredibly challenging to concentrate and focus a huge amount of information within.
Some even called black holes the largest hard drive that exists in nature. This idea is consistent with the theory of relativity, which describes black holes as three-dimensional, simple, spherical, and smooth. In short, black holes only appear to be three-dimensional, like a hologram.
In the new work, physicists have considered the holographic principle for black holes. And they used the idea, and even 30 years ago. It suggests that gravitation in different parts of space and different dimensions may behave differently. It is so illogical that it is difficult even to describe this condition.
In this case, the researchers say that the holographic principle allowed them to describe gravitation without the use of the term “gravity”. And it immediately made for physicists the mysterious thermodynamical properties of black holes more clear. This approach allows to describe black holes as a hologram: they have two dimensions in which gravity disappears, but they reproduce the object in three dimensions.
“This study is only a first step to a deeper understanding of these cosmic bodies and the properties that characterize them, where quantum mechanics intersects with General relativity,” say the researchers.
