Is Quantum Mechanics Evidence for a Holographic Reality?

In summary, the conversation discusses the idea that reality may be mind-dependent and an illusion created by our brains, with the holographic theory and quantum mechanics cited as evidence. However, the idea is dismissed as being wrong and the concept of localized functions and nonlocalizable sinusoids is mentioned as a counterargument. The conversation is then closed.

Is reality mind-dependent ? I saw a lot of videos on internet arguing that the 'holographic theory' proves that our world is an illusion created by our brains.. and every person has their own individual world in his brain...just like a movie, they use QM as a proof, and Tom Campbell as a reference..

is true that QM proves something like that? (some experiment, or anything?)

No, that is totally wrong.

The holographic conjecture is conceptually not much different from saying that a localized function can also be described as a superposition of nonlocalizable sinusoids.

Thanks atyy, and with the answer, this thread is closed.
 

What is Macroscopic Realism?

Macroscopic realism is a concept in quantum physics that suggests that objects in the macroscopic world, such as chairs, tables, and people, have definite properties and exist in a definite state even when they are not being observed.

What is the difference between Macroscopic Realism and Quantum Mechanics?

The main difference between Macroscopic Realism and Quantum Mechanics is that Macroscopic Realism assumes that objects have definite properties and states, while Quantum Mechanics suggests that objects exist in multiple states and properties until they are observed.

What evidence supports Macroscopic Realism?

There is currently no direct evidence that supports Macroscopic Realism. However, many scientists argue that the classical behavior of everyday objects is evidence of their definite properties and states.

How does Macroscopic Realism relate to the measurement problem in quantum physics?

Macroscopic Realism attempts to solve the measurement problem in quantum physics by proposing that objects have definite properties and states even when they are not being observed. This eliminates the need for a conscious observer to collapse the wave function.

What are the implications of Macroscopic Realism for our understanding of reality?

Macroscopic Realism challenges our current understanding of reality and suggests that objects have definite properties and states, even if we are not observing them. This has implications for our understanding of causality, determinism, and the role of consciousness in the universe.
