plumbing the depths of the hologram universe

This is a holiday break from the war with china and the term limits arguments that will come up later.  See the earlier posts if you want to follow that part of the blog
This examines some of the questions raised by current theories of the universe.  This one, supported by some of the writings of Einstein, Hawkins (The Universe in a nutshell) and others, is not a finished model, so I take the liberty of assigning certain features to it which may or may not be consistent with the model.
One of those "assigned features" is that everything has already happened.  Time is just a method of allowing someone to "walk around" the universe and see what is happening at any point in time, just as in a laser-hologram you can walk around in one direction and see a banana peeled and then go in the opposite direction and watch it closed back.  Hence, one question of the hologram universe is whether it is possible to go around it and see in them the past and go in another direction and see the future.
We have seen that the past is visible and easily visited, at least on a macro scale.  You do this every time you look into the night sky; starring eons into the past of galaxies and stars.  Even when you see sunlight you are looking a short time in the past.
Light is the speed limit of the universe, at least in the dimensions that we live in, and it is also a way to walk around the hologram for distant objects.  The fact that it does not, at least the way we have observed light so far, allow us to look at near objects in the distant past or any objects in the future raises the question of whether there is another way to look at light so this would be possible or to find the source of light or of the projection of the universe so that we could go walking around it.  This would give us the perspective of the hypothetical "god" which presumably created the universe and who could, by walking around it, on a micro level, see the beginning and the end.
This is not science fiction if the hologram universe allows for this type of view and if it is merely a projection of something that already exists and but for the artifice of time has already happened.  In fact, there is little reason to believe in the bubble theory that there are not an infinite number of universes, each with an infinite number of ways of things happening being viewed by whoever created them with interest or without interest just as some of us look into the sky with great interest and some out of boredom; why some see the full moon and are filled with romantic thoughts and others are merely aggravated that it is not dark enough to sleep.
In a future blog, perhaps we will discuss who is viewing these holograms.  Are they exhibits in some god museum or are we merely the bubbles formed while some great being beyond the scope of our comprehension bubbles water for tea?
