The 2D Universe: Why Reality Might Be a Hologram

Black holes count information in square meters, not cubic meters—and that single fact upends our picture of reality. This film unpacks the holographic principle from first principles: Bekenstein–Hawking area law, ’t Hooft & Susskind’s insight, Maldacena’s AdS/CFT, and how entanglement (Ryu–Takayanagi) can literally stitch spacetime. We explore error-correcting codes as geometry, the Page curve and replica wormholes, ER=EPR, and why “holographic universe” ≠ “computer simulation.” Along the way: strange metals, quark–gluon plasma, and why ultimate limits on storage and computation are gravitational. Clear visuals, no fluff—just the deepest ideas in modern physics made intuitive.

Tell us in the comments: if spacetime is emergent from entanglement, what’s the next experiment you’d fund to test it?
