Is the Holographic Universe Theory a Valid Concept?

[Rajkovic]

This theory was accepted? Is it more to be correct or more to be wrong?

 

[jedishrfu]

The Holographic principle as a theory is part of String theory so in that sense its accepted.

Check the recent work and experimental topics for more info.

String theory has been accepted?

The theory is not accepted. Its most well-understood form AdS/CFT remains a conjecture, and it is unclear whether our universe, in which the expansion of space is accelerating, can be described by the theory.

I didnt say string theory is accepted only that the holographic principle is accepted as a part of string theory meaning some string folks have embraced it but not all.

The AdS/CFT correspondence has been mathematically proven in some cases, though none of these cases match our universe.

I think that it is accepted that the quantity of bits that can be stored in a region is proportional to its area.

This isn't correct. You're referring to the Bekenstein Bound and it's an upper limit, not a proportionality relation.

Which papers prove this?

I wrote CAN be and not IS!

I apologise for misinterpreting your post.

I have Susskind and Lindsay's book on the subject. I'll get some references for you, when I get chance.
