Default An experiment to determine if we're living in a hologram

A physics experiment might soon tell us if we're living in a 2D hologram

Now, the experiment they are describing sounds remarkably like the
gravitational wave experiments that they've been doing for years
already, without any luck. And which in turn, sounds remarkably like the
Michaelson-Morley experiment of the 19th century which was used to
disprove the existence of the Luminoferous Aether.

So how exactly are they expecting to find waves here, that the
gravitational wave experiments that have been running for several years
has not been able to find? Some of these gravity wave experiments are
several miles long too!

I remember IIRC in Germany some unexpected noise was discovered,
that made one theoretical physicist propose the holographic universe,
or put his theory in the spotlight that predicted such noise.
I have no idea at this point, RF noise is almost omnipresent, and
can have many causes.
Laser beams are by themselves not really that stable.
But it gives them something to do.
:-)
That the universe is made of waves is nothing new (as theory),
but still waves need to wave in something.
So this will drag on very long I think.
2D?? I think not.
