A rather long but very interesting article from New Scientist...

Our world might be a giant hologram...

That's scary.

I like where he compares the 5th dimension to a Pringle chip on the first page. Anyways, all in all I thought it was a wierd article. I cant imagine all that we see, do, and feel is all a 2D projection/illusion. It seems 3D to me.

Agreed, the Pringle metaphor may be just about the best concise description of what 5D anti-de Sitter space looks like that I have seen. Much better than describing it as "saddle-shaped".

Very interesting indeed.

What is 5d anyways? I never understood that (or 4-d).
