Holographic Takeaway

[atyy]

Why does Banks liken holographic spacetime (http://arxiv.org/abs/1109.2435) to take-away (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Take-out) :confused:

Is dS/CFT (http://arxiv.org/abs/1108.5735) then the restaurant at the end of the universe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Restaurant_at_the_End_of_the_Universe)? :rolleyes:

aryy, I have a homework for you. Who was Tom Bank's doctoral student and who also hates Verlinde's gravity, which is acknowledged positively in this paper? Keep the name for yourself! :)

Do we have to distinguish between the two discretness ?
1. The analogous fluctuations in a polarized vacuum as a medium for light
2. The digital numbers of the mathematical space as a holographic picture of the polarized photon.

Why don't they distinguish it -"We exclude the random walk model and most of the holographic models of the space-time foam." http://arxiv.org/abs/1108.6005
