Physicists around the world are theorizing that reality as we know it may just be one big hologram. That means, the 3-D objects you see around you aren’t actually 3-dimensional. At the moment, this is just an idea. But a team of physicists and researchers at Fermilab are conducting an experiment to try to find evidence that such a theory is possible. Joining us to explain is Craig Hogan, Director of the Fermilab Center for Particle Astrophysics and professor of Astronomy and Astrophysics at the University of Chicago.
