Our Universe May Be a Giant Hologram
I had a friend who believed in this. It is indeed not a new theory - I bought this book (published 1996) out of an interest in her beliefs as is does sound pretty crazy. I never did read it though.

Maybe when I filter it thru beer, it becomes over simplified to say:
Much as ice becomes pressed into layers trapping carbon footprint data, a black hole geologist could then take a core sample of a black hole and again gain a 3D perspective of things a black hole has applied itself upon. This theory (with beer added) also implies belief that there is some magical process to read the killer's image from the victim's eyes with the proper mixture of lightning and coca-cola. IE: A black hole also compacts time onto the surface of the black hole enabling a cross cut sample of all time to be obtained. You'd be able to get the best picture right before the "big bang moment of the universe recreating as god brings the hammer down" of everything that happened up to that point. If you were so able to work out how to decode when the smaller black holes joined up to the bigger ones and adjust the angle on your black hole hole cutter appropriately, you'd eventually be able to revisit the exact moment in time when OJ's white bronco went toodleing down the I405 trailing a long line of cop car ducklings behind.
If you could apply the same process on Brood's mom, you'd probably just pull out a dog eared copy of the Bronx White Pages.

It's just a hypothesis
I challenge you to prove it.
Theories are already proven

Girly, iirc correctly the gamma rays thing was evidence against certain variations of string theory, though god knows there are plenty more to fill the gap!
Space didn't seem to be as "grainy" as these theories were predicting, and was actually smooth up to the level to which we could resolve it.
Everyone always moans that string theory is just a maths game (albeit a pretty one) until they come up with some testable predictions.
This was a testable prediction (for some variations of string theory) and they failed.

the information encoded in the boundary doesn't follow the physical laws we know, in the sense that there is much more data in the structure than in the particles position/momentum (since the laws change when the particles in the inner system change, and from the point of view of the observed system the laws will not be homogeneous resp. to itself, unlike the laws of the whole universe), so the boundary of the universe will change in much more complicated ways than our everyday physical universe. In other words, we would need to know how to decode this information (nevermind that we can't actually read it completely).
In other words, the boundary will behave through a differential equation Y(B,I,t)=0 where B is the boundary current state, I is a function depending on the inner elements (ie, the 'data compression algorithm'), and t is time. Good luck making something useful out of this.
