I posted elsewhere (I forget where) regarding Aspect's work...interesting name, don't you think?

What really really got my attention was that at roughly the same time I ran across Aspect's work regarding the holographic universe, I was reading the "Enneads" of Plotinus where he says exactly the same thing - that the whole is embodied in every one of its parts. Talk about synchronicity! The way Plotinus explains it, you just know if he'd had the word holographic he'd have used it (check out the 4th Ennead).

Many things are to be explained this way!
