"All Creatures Are Words of God" - Meister Eckhart

Is the universe a created thing?  We Gnostics say 'yes.'  But how is creation implemented?  One theory is that the universe is a hologram.  Scientists are now running an experiment to see if this is true:

Is reality a 3D hologram of a 2D universe? This is a question that the researchers are asking almost a hundred years after physicist Max Planck came up with the idea of a finite measurement of distance, leading to the concept of Planck distance and Planck time. Stephen Hawking built on this concept to suggest that there is a discrete fidelity or resolution to the universe – sort of like pixels in a picture. Further credence was given to the idea when German scientists working on the GEO600 project noticed distortions in their observations while studying the gravitational waves created by black holes. The cause of this distortion is thought to be because the team were approaching the lower limit of the universe's resolution. They might have been the first to see the fabric of reality!

 Western science assumes we can study reality and learn something meaningful from it because reality reflects an "ideal" world - whether conceived as Platonic forms, the omnipotent, omniscient god of Christendom, or the perfection of mathematics.  What if that's wrong?

If our Creator is flawed, we would expect to find mistakes in the very fabric of creation - bugs, if you will.  Bugs like this one:

Physicists describe gravitation with Newton's Law of Gravitation, which incorporates the Gravitational Constant G. Here's where the embarrassment arises. Many other constants of nature, such as the charge on the electron, are known to eight significant figures. We only know G to three. What's worse, modern attempts to refine the measurement of G come up with wildly different answers. Torsion-pendulum experiments in the U.S., Germany, and New Zealand are far apart in their G-measurements. And physicists are perplexed -- to put it mildly.

 We'll have more to say as this blog progresses....
