I've been convinced of this theory for about 10 years. I don't know why people can't wrap their heads around a 3D version of the Holographic Principle (as opposed to the standard 2D version of it, per Susskind, etc.), or indeed an N-dimensional-manifold version of it.
This guy did tho... (he gets into the good part right at about halfway thru)
It might very well be internally consistent but it's not a theory of where the universe came from. It's easy to add complexity, but the goal is always to remove it.
That's right. It doesn't try to say that everything magically popped into existence like the Big Bang does. It doesn't try to stipulate that there was a "beginning to time" (yes I know that's paradoxical, but you know what I mean). It says things didn't explode outward, but are collapsing inward, which is proven by gravity. There's nothing "magical" in it, that contradicts known science. However the Big Bang Theory is entirely 100% "magical", and contradicts every law of physics that exists!
