Black Holes Holograms?

Scientists, who constructed a new model using quantum gravity, found that black holes may be holograms.

Black holes, which are among the most mysterious objects in the universe, may be merely holograms, a new research suggests.

 

Theoretical physicists developed a new model of estimating the chaotic states that exist beyond the event horizons of black holes. Their calculations suggest that these powerful celestial bodies may in fact be two-dimensional projections contrary to the popular belief that they have three dimensions.

 

Dr Daniele Pranzetti, a physicist at the Max Planck Institute for Theoretical Physics in Munich, Germany, said: 'We were able to use a more complete and richer model compared with what done in the past, and obtain a far more realistic and robust result.

 

'This allowed us to resolve several ambiguities afflicting previous calculations.'

 

'The idea at the basis of our study is that homogenous classical geometries emerge from a condensate of quanta of space introduced in a Loop Quantum Gravity in order to describe quantum geometries.'

 

The findings were found to support the holographic hypothesis. This could mean that for physicists to really understand the structure of black holes, they will have to start looking at them on a two dimensional surface.
