Gravity's lack of negative mass anchors Quanta's case for holography

Quanta's physics writer calls holography the most profound idea in theoretical physics in 30 years, built on three papers cited tens of thousands of times. The citations measure how many theorists took it up, and whether holography describes our own universe is the open question the essay sets out to answer.
