Bousso, Rev. Mod. Phys. 74 (2002), 825-874), the holographic principle (HP) is a straightforward consequence of the quantum information theory of separable systems. It provides a basis for the theories of measurement, time, and scattering. Principles equivalent to the HP appear in both computer science and the life sciences, suggesting that the HP is not just a fundamental principle of physics, but of all of science.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-10-28T09:48:05.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "holographic principle", "physical meaning", "quantum information theory", "computer science", "hp appear" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 39, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
