Susskind used the Holographic Principle to counter Hawking's presumption that information was lost forever in a black hole, violating the fundamental theory of entropy. Susskind countered that, based on the Holographic Principle, information was actually preserved and determined the shape and "pixelation" of the outer shell of the event horizon. The informational content of the black hole is displayed on its outer surface, much like a hologram. And in some surprising ways, the universe acts exactly like the interior of an expanding black hole with the resultant pixelation noise. That is what is trying to be detected with the experiment mentioned in this article.
