The Holographic Principle as a Resolution of the Black Hole Information Paradox: Is an omniscient perspective possible based on a Holographic Model of the event horizon of the Universe?

Abstract

We seek to examine the ontological aspects of the resolution of the black hole information paradox. Several concepts which are now central to our understanding of quantum mechanics arose from our resolution to this paradox, and these concepts point to the conservation of all information, even on a quantum level. If quantum information is conserved and can never be erased or destroyed, then this indicates that all information is at least theoretically, ultimately retrievable and knowable from the event horizon of the universe. Ontologically, this supports the contention that a repository of all information in the universe must therefore exist. Herein, we trace the steps in this contention and conclude with the argument that our understanding of the universe points to the existence of an omniscient entity.
