Wolfgang - The Holographic Universe is a fascinating book. I also recommend that you give it a look. Keep in mind that when I was a kid, and a young adult, I did not believe in anything "non-scientific". I was very rational, you might say, and absolutely did not believe in all kinds of things I take for granted now (spiritual aspects of life). I later ran into various personal experiences that made me aware of some things conventional science has had nothing to say about...which are nonetheless real and vitally important.

Since I'm not feeling too verbose right now, I don't feel like explaining them here. Matter of fact, I just don't have the energy to. It's a huge subject.

However, the book The Holographic Universe does shed some light on the matter, and helps to make a connection between science and spirit. Both viewpoints (scientific and spiritual) are valid, and they are intimately connected to one another.
