Fragments from "Auguries of Innocence"

By William Blake

To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.

Holographic principle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The holographic principle is a property of string theories and a supposed property of quantum gravity that states that the description of a volume of space can be thought of as encoded on a boundary to the region—preferably a light-like boundary like a gravity horizon. First proposed by Gerard ‘t Hooft, it was given a precise string-theory interpretation by Leonard Susskind who combined his ideas with previous ones of 't Hooft and Charles Thorn. As pointed out by Raphael Bousso, Thorn observed in 1978 that string theory admits a lower-dimensional description in which gravity emerges from it in what would now be called a holographic way.
In a larger sense, the theory suggests that the entire universe can be seen as a two-dimensional information structure "painted" on the cosmological horizon, such that the three dimensions we observe are an effective description only at macroscopic scales and at low energies. Cosmological holography has not been made mathematically precise, partly because the cosmological horizon has a finite area and grows with time. . . .
High-level summary
The physical universe is widely seen to be composed of "matter" and "energy". In his 2003 article published in Scientific American magazine, Jacob Bekenstein summarized a current trend started by John Archibald Wheeler, which suggests scientists may "regard the physical world as made of information, with energy and matter as incidentals." Bekenstein asks "Could we, as William Blake memorably penned, 'see a world in a grain of sand,' or is that idea no more than 'poetic license,'" referring to the holographic principle.

         If you add to the above the following poetic quotation:

** **

“If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, Infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro' narrow chinks of his cavern.”

― William Blake, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell

and apply twenty thousand years of quantum and unknown to us thought-physics and apply that to what really works in the universe, the marsupial-humanoids have the ‘engine’ and ‘shell’ to go from Here to There in the three-dimensional world we all know and love.

         The above comes from Google and sitting and relaxing in the bathtub. Soon you will be leaving for lunch with Kim and Mary Lou at Max and Erma’s at Polaris. Later, dude. Post. - Amorella


         1602 hours. It looks like a significant snow/ice storm coming between Columbus and Cincinnati by sometime tomorrow through Monday. I am at Mary Lou’s waiting on Carol and Mary Lou to return from shopping with Kim. Visitation hours are five to eight. No sense in trying to head home before six, after the rush hour. We had a good lunch so perhaps a light snack before heading home. Now to work on the stats (something I’ve been putting off).

         Carol arrived and you have to get ready. Post. - Amorella

         You are home and ready for bed. Doug sent you the following note earlier today:

Dick,
If the universe is a hologram, who is projecting it on to what? When you make a hologram it is usually of some 3D object. What object was used to make our universe hologram? Just thinking out loud.
Doug

         You replied that it was a very good question. Earlier today you had an idea to take William Blake’s poem and reverse order it to see the reasoning behind it. Tomorrow we can work this into Doug’s question. – Amorella

To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.

A Robin Redbreast in a Cage
Puts all Heaven in a Rage.
A dove house fill’d with doves and pigeons
Shudders Hell thro’ all its regions.
A Dog starv’d at his Master’s Gate
Predicts the ruin of the State.
A Horse misus’d upon the Road
Calls to Heaven for Human blood.
Each outcry of the hunted Hare
A fiber from the Brain does tear.

He who shall train the Horse to War
Shall never pass the Polar Bar.
The Beggar’s Dog and Widow’s Cat,
Feed them and thou wilt grow fat.
The Gnat that sings his Summer song
Poison gets from Slander’s tongue.
The poison of the Snake and Newt
Is the sweat of Envy’s Foot.

A truth that’s told with bad intent
Beats all the Lies you can invent.
It is right it should be so;
Man was made for Joy and Woe;
And when this we rightly know
Thro’ the World we safely go.

Every Night and every Morn
Some to Misery are Born.
Every Morn and every Night
Some are Born to sweet delight.
Some are Born to sweet delight,
Some are Born to Endless Night.

Every Night and every Morn

Every Morn and every Night
Some are Born to sweet delight.
Some are Born to sweet delight,
Some are Born to Endless Night.

It is right it should be so;

And when this we rightly know

         2241 hours. I thought it might still make sense in reverse but it does not. In fact it reminds of J. Swift’s amusing satire “Verses on the Death of Dr. Swift” until the final stanza (in reverse order).  –

Could it be that the hologram universe is a natural shape and not a projection?

Shapes are standards in physics from the very large (universe) to the very small (sub atomic?) If shapes were the standard primary colors what would work with each (better)
(intuitively). Why?

I keep thinking we are missing a layer or so of reality – it might only be between the lines or in the margins; but there is something important in physics that we have yet to address. (2254)
