The universe is a unified whole, and there is holographic correlation between its parts. In the universe as a whole, there is holographic correspondence between subsystems and systems, and between systems and the universe. Compared with the non-corresponding parts, the corresponding parts are more similar in matter, structure, energy, information, spirit, function and other cosmic elements. In the latent state information, descendants contain all the information of the system, and the system contains all the information of the universe. In explicit information, subsystem is the epitome of system, and system is the epitome of universe.

Holographic thought has a long history, but no one has ever put forward the new concept of "cosmic holography" before. This concept was mentioned by David Joseph Bohm, a famous contemporary quantum physicist, in his book "Sacred and Implied Entanglement-Universe and Consciousness in Rollout", which was formally put forward by G Hofter of Utrecht University in the Netherlands in 1993 and further elaborated by Leonard Suskin.

The basic principle of cosmic holography is that any part contains all the information from the whole of the total potential information.

Generally speaking, everything has a four-dimensional hologram of time and space; There is holographic correspondence between parts of the same individual and the whole, between things at the same level, between things at different levels, between things in the system, between the beginning and the result of things, between the big process and the small process of things' development, and between time and space. Each part contains other parts and is contained in other parts at the same time; Materials generally have memories, and things always try to copy new things according to the patterns existing in their memories; Holography is a differential hologram.

In the holographic universe, even time and space are no longer basically unchanged. Because in a universe without separation, the concept of position will collapse, and time and three-dimensional space are like fish in a TV monitor, just a projection of a deeper order. This deeper reality is a super holographic illusion in which the past, present and future coexist.

In other words, Pribram believes that the mind itself is a hologram.

Pribram's theory also explains how the human brain can store so many memories in such a small space. It is estimated that in a person's life, the human brain can remember about10 billion bits of data.

Similarly, in addition to other functions, holography also has amazing data storage capacity-as long as the angles of two lasers are changed, many different images can be recorded on the same negative. It has been proved that 1 cubic centimeter film can store10 billion bits of data (about 5 sets of Encyclopedia Britannica).
