Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
The holographic principle was first proposed by G. t Hooft, a Dutch theoretical physicist, in 1993 (Holographic Principle and M-theory). This proposal came as a consideration in black hole
physics (Bak and Rey, 2000). The theory purports that the physical processes through which a universe works can represented on the boundary of that universe, in other words these
processes can be represented as holograms (Holographic Principle and M-theory). As an analogy, the shadow that an individual throws on the wall of a room, for example, could actually
define the physical processes that make up that individual (Holographic Principle and M-theory). As the individual moves away from the wall the shadow becomes larger (Holographic Principle
and M-theory). Under the holographic theory that individual is actually entering a fifth dimension, a dimension in which time and distance intermingle. There are, of course, much more
complicated definitions of the holographic principle. Those definitions will be explored, in part, below. Quite recently the holographic theory it has been
expanded to encompass string theory (Bak and Rey, 2000). The cosmological principle states that the universe is typically the same at what ever point one chooses to examine it.
Galaxies are distributed equally throughout the universe and they are moving in no particular direction. Thus, according to the cosmological principle the universe is both homogenous and isotropic.
A second important point is that the universe is in a constant state of expansion as a result of the force of the cataclysmic explosion which is believed to
be its point of origin. This theory is now being expanded on with the introduction of the so-called holographic principle. Bak and Rey (2000) contend that the holographic
