Higgs, Peter W.
Higgs
Field, in particle-physics,
an energy field
or fields in what would otherwise be considered a perfect vacuum.
Higgs fields are the theoretical
construct of a British physicist, Peter W. Higgs, who developed them to
help account for the particles known as massive gauge bosons without breaking
the symmetry.laws
of modern physics. The concept has been used in an attempt to develop a
unified
field theory incorporating all the fundamental
interactions of matter. Support
for the concept
has been found in recent particle discoveries." ...

hologram.noun
is a three dimensional projection of an object;
it's a sculpture made out of light; look at your credit card, go to Disneyland
where you'll see people dancing in front of you, but they are only just
projections; memory also can be a holographic object, where the whole of
it is in every bit of it; example - you take a laser beam and put it through
a machine called a beam splitter, split it into two, here one is called
the object beam and the other is the reference beam; the object beam goes
at the object, it scatters; the reference beam bounces off a mirror, interferes
with the object beam and creates what's called an interference pattern,
you record that interference pattern over a photographic plate; if you
look at that, all it looks like is a bunch of squiggles;
a wide photographic plate is used and placed on the floor, you place an
object standing on the plate (let's say it's a person); behind and above
the object are mirrors angled to receive and reflect images generated by
the dispersed energy from the split laser beam when it's passed through
the object; the photographic plate on the floor records the information
it receives from the mirrors; you could now break the plate into a trillion
pieces and all the information would be in each piece; the images
however get fuzzier the smaller they are, but they are still there; this
is how each cell in your body has information in it of all other
cells; it is the pattern produced on a photosensitive medium that has been
exposed by what we term holography and then photographically developed;
the photosensitive medium so exposed and so developed is called a hologram
holography.noun
a method of producing a three dimensional image
of an object by recording on a photographic plate or film the pattern of
interference formed by a split laser beam and then illuminating the pattern
either with a laser or with ordinary light
holographic also
holographical.adjective

Hafiz 1325?-1389,
originally named Mohammed Shams od-Din, he gained the respectful title
Hafiz; he was born in Iran into a poor family and became a Persian poet
whose sensuous rhyming couplets,
many of which concern love, wine, and nature, are traditionally interpreted
allegorically
by Sufic Moslems; the word hafiz means "one who has memorized the Koran,"
as a teacher of the Koran; Hafiz was a member of the order of Sufi mystics
and also, at times, a court poet; his poems on one level celebrate the
pleasures of drinking, hunting, and love at the court of Shîrâz
in Iran; on a deeper level, according to some scholars, they reflect his
consuming devotion as a Sufi to union with the divine; they also satirize
hypocritical Muslim religious leaders; Hafiz's work, collected under the
title of Divan, translated 1891, contains more than 500 poems, most
of them in the form of a ghazal, a short traditional Persian form that
he perfected, where each consists of up to 15 highly structured rhyming
couplets dealing with one subject; the language is simple, lyrical, and
heartfelt; Hafiz is greatly admired both in Iran and, in translation, in
the West; especially appealing are his love for the common person and his
relation of daily life to the search of humanity for the eternal Microsoft®
