Explanation: <\/strong> Is this picture worth a thousand words? According to the Holographic Principle<\/a>, the most information you can get from this image is about 3 x 1065<\/sup><\/a> bits for a normal sized computer monitor. The Holographic Principle<\/a>, yet unproven, states that there is a maximum amount of information content held by regions adjacent to any surface. Therefore, counter-intuitively, the information content inside a room depends not on the volume of the room but on the area of the bounding walls. The principle derives from the idea that the Planck length<\/a>, the length scale where quantum mechanics<\/a> begins to dominate classical gravity<\/a>, is one side of an area that can hold only about one bit of information. The limit was first postulated<\/a> by physicist Gerard ‘t Hooft<\/a> in 1993. It can arise from generalizations from seemingly distant speculation<\/a> that the information held by a black hole<\/a> is determined not by its enclosed volume but by the surface area of its event horizon<\/a>. The term “holographic” arises from a hologram<\/a> analogy where three-dimension images are created by projecting light though a flat screen. Beware, other people looking at the above image<\/a> may not claim to see 3 x 1065<\/sup> bits — they might claim to see a teapot<\/a>.<\/p>\n As I remembered, this kind of picture had been popular as postcards when I was a junior in university, especially around 1994.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" see what APOD says about it: [singlepic=117,300,300,,center] Explanation: Is this picture worth a thousand words?
