Does reality exist, or is the Universe just a hologram? Forever, science has taught us that the best way to understand a physical phenomenon, whether it is an atom or a pickle, is to dissect it and study its constituent parts.

A hologram teaches us that some things in the Universe may not lend themselves to this approach. If we try to take apart something constructed holographically, we will not get the pieces of which it is made, we will only get smaller wholes of the hologram.
