Does the holographic principle allow realistically-sized universe simulation?
I was reading about the holographic principle and a question came up to my mind which I can't find an answer to. My understanding is that the holographic principle states that the description volume ...

Conservation of information [closed]
Given: The holographic principle as proposed by Susskind that states that the maximum amount of information stored in a 3D volume can be dictated by its surface area. Would not: The simple square-...

What's the difference between burning a book and throwing it into a black hole [duplicate]
There is a big concern about loosing information inside a black hole. As far as I understand, the black hole is characterized classically by its mass, angular momentum and charge. Semi-classically, ...

Information containable in a volume depends on surface area, but a volume of space can contain a volume with a bigger surface area?
The holographic principle has me confused. I'm wondering, if a volume can contain more information if it has a larger surface area, how can it be that a volume with a bigger surface area can be ...

How does the information content in a holographic world add up?
I watched Leonard Susskind's great layman lecture "The World As Hologram" the other day (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DIl3Hfh9tY) and it kind of makes sense to me. If Information is a conserved ...

Why can't I surpass the holographic limit by stitching together two surface areas?
Suppose I have a rectangular brick of computer memory. My brick is very thin on one side and contains so much memory that it is just one bit away from being a black hole. According to the holographic ...

How is encoded the information on the surface of the volume' s boundary?
In the context of the holographic principle, who states that the entropy of ordinary mass (not just black holes) is also proportional to surface area and not volume;that volume itself is illusory ...

Bekenstein bound and "dimensionality" of information (entropy) [closed]
The Bekenstein bound says that the maximum entropy which can be contained in a (spherical) volume of space with a given amount of energy is proportional to the amount of energy multiplied by the "...

Why is information indestructible?
I really can't understand what Leonard Susskind means when he says in the video Leonard Susskind on The World As Hologram that information is indestructible. Is that information that is lost, through ...
