Can someone explain the holographic universe theory to me in the dumbest way possible? My mind can’t grasp what it means.

The holographic principle essentially means that you don’t need three dimensions to represent a three dimensional object, and the universe we live in can be thought of as a projection of a lower-dimensional set of information into a higher dimension just like a hologram.

Have a peek at this video and see if it helps explain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klpDHn8viX8
