We've known the resolution limit of the universe for decades (Planck length, Planck mass, and Planck time), the cool thing is that we may be living in a universe that is just a blown up image like if you took a 600x400 image and expanded it to 1800x1200.

If you want a good popularization of the holographic principal I can strongly recommend Leonard Susskind's book (one of two people, along with Gerard 't Hooft, that formulated it) The Black Hole War: My Battle with Stephen Hawking to Make the World Safe for Quantum Mechanics.

But yes, it is all mind blowing.
