I'm not going to read past the first page of that article.

Basically, I guess they suggest a Matrix-like reality. That all of our senses are generated from a single intelligence. And, from our senses and what the information tells us of them, we get the universe as a whole.

Theories like this try to explain life, but it just makes paradoxes. If the world is a hologram of pure "information"... then where would the information originate from? A non-holographic world? Why would that world be "real" and ours holographic? If there was a "real world" that made the hologram, could we be sure it was not holographic as well? Just... bunches of information that passed on the information.

The Matrix can have it's fun with the theory, but if I hear much more of anything similar to it, I'll just say "screw it" and wait to find out what happens when I die.
