Question about Holograms and 3D mid air images, videos, etc.

AI Thread Summary
Current technology does not allow for the projection of true 3D mid-air holograms as depicted in science fiction, such as the Princess Leia hologram in Star Wars. There is uncertainty regarding the feasibility of such technology and no timeline for its potential arrival. Discussions speculate on the profound changes that could occur if such technology were developed in the near future. However, participants are encouraged to focus on questions related to existing physics rather than hypothetical scenarios. The thread was ultimately locked due to a lack of relevant questions.

I am very curious about holograms and if there is a possible way to project 3D , mid-air images and videos on air with no holographic screen (The Princess Leia hologram in Star Wars). If it is not possible, how long till they actually start arriving to the world and how will they work/operate?

Not that we know of at this time. Not like how holography is portrayed in things like star wars and star trek.

We don't even know if such a thing is possible, let alone when it will arrive and how it works.

What if such thing was possible and was to arrive in the next six years? What would change?

Much more than I could possibly imagine and post about. I'll leave all that to your imagination since it isn't going to happen.

Do you have any questions that have to do with current, real-world physics? If not I'm going to have to lock this thread.

No, just curious. Thanks anyways. 2020 is the year.
 
Alright. Thread locked.
 
So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
