A simulation demonstrating how information scales with surface area rather than volume, leading to the Holographic Principle.
Black Holes: Physics, Structure, and Theory
The Information Paradox
The Holographic Principle
4 / 5
The Holographic Principle suggests that all information inside a black hole is encoded on its event horizon. In this simulation, increase the radius. Notice that while volume grows cubically, the maximum information capacity grows only with the surface area. This implies our 3D reality might be a projection of 2D data stored on the boundary.
