Move: Holometer -> Fermilab Holometer

I think the article should be moved from Holometer to Fermilab Holometer. As Holometer is just a general term for Holographic interferometer (see Holographic interferometry), and there might be similar experiments in the future at other research laboratories. --helohe (talk) 08:52, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

When

When do they expect to have this built and start analyzing data? RJFJR (talk) 14:27, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My best estimate right now is early 2014, but things have a way of pushing themselves into the future. --IO Device (talk) 08:08, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

attometer sensitivity and "smallest units"

attometer is 10⁻¹⁸m, while Planck's length is 1,6*10⁻³⁵m. So how exactly can attometer sensitivity to light fluctuations give sensitivity to Planck's units?

update, please? (dying to know ...)

Back in August of 2014 this experiment to determine whether or not reality is a hologram commenced, and we were told that the data accumulation could take up to a year. OK, its now September of 2015, and I have not been able to locate even a statement of preliminary findings. What's up with potentially the biggest news story of all time? 104.184.5.46 (talk) 15:55, 26 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

the page is inconsistant

The opening line says the device is under construction and yet later the experiment is said to be running. Someone knowledgeable needs to do a re-write! 81.144.34.196 (talk) 17:43, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Holometer rules out first theory of space-time correlations

On the criticism related to Lorentz invariance

I have two gripes with the paragraph as it is now: first, the criticism refers to a particular model of non-commuting position-observables. To me it's not clear that this can be cast as a criticism of "the hypothesis that holographic noise may be observed in this manner". There are a variety of other models (reviewed in arXiv:1506.06808) that also make predictions on the noise that the Holometer should see.
Moreover, the discussion of S. Hossenfelder referred to a preprint by Hogan from 2008. Since then, he has published a Lorentz covariant version of his model. In addition, I wonder if the criticism by a blogger is what should be reflected in wikipedia. Is there similar criticism in the published, peer-reviewed scientific literature? --Qcomp (talk) 17:31, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
