Added 2021-04-01 04:12:48 +0000 UTCLast week, we talked about the idea that the universe is a hologram, what string theorists call the "holographic principle". String theory of course is famous for conjecturing that the universe isn't only a hologram but also has six additional dimensions of space. One of the consequences of this is that it might become possible to produce black holes in particle colliders. Stephen Hawking has repeatedly joked that if the LHC would see these black holes he might win a Nobel Prize. Was that a reasonable expectation? Or should he have won the Nobel Prize for something else? That's what we talk bout on Saturday.
