Following studies on black holes, physicists have come up with a theory that this universe is merely a hologram- a representation of another far off universe. This theory came about from not only the black hole research, but looking also into general relativity, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, and the recently proposed string theory (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_theory).

I think this is a little far reaching myself, but then again I'm no physicist.

Wow, that's really interesting. A little bit scary, but interesting.
