Comments on: Lab Out Loud interview http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/01/16/lab-out-loud-interview-2/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

Apparently, someone named Dr. Hogan said in <i>New Scientist</i> magazine that objective reality doesn't exist, and the universe is a hologram. Not only that, but a grainy hologram, since the number of the "pixels" in the area of the sphere of the universe must equal the number in the volume, making the ones inside bigger, and, thus, fuzzy. They're saying that it explains how subatomic particles can interact at distances instantaneously, and that, because holograms can't be cut into 2 half images, the universe can't be dissected in a certain way. Check this out: http://i.gizmodo.com/5131839/physicists-believe-our-universe-is-one-big-hologram-and-they-may-have-spotted-the-pixels Hey BA:

Well, as I've already stated on the "Vatican't" thread, I tried to post an amusing cartoon, but your bloody stupid anti-spam filter "spammed" it! Ah... sod it! It's Friday night, I'm going to the pub! Phil Plait: “… but until then, please feel free to comment on my Pope article…”

Great work. Educating teachers about astronomy, skepticism and science has got to be one of the most direct and impactful ways to improve the US education system. Just listened to LOL podcast.
