...this idea have been greatly exaggerated. The energy problem is considerably simpler on this basis than on the conventional basis of immense distance. The receding hydrogen cloud discovered by Koehler in front of 3C 273 can more plausibly be interpreted as ejected from our galaxy, in the same manner as in other galaxies, than as part of the Virgo cluster of galaxies. The local model of quasars also has the advantage of accounting for the far-out locations of radio sources associated with other galaxies...

...When the light waves from subject and mirror are reunited at the surface of the film, they interfere with each other in strange patterns of bright and dark areas that are recorded on the film. "In the hologram," says Electrical Engineer Stroke, "the light waves are stored in a manner similar to the way a musical tone is stored in a piano string. It is there, but it is not released until the string is plucked...
