  • A physicist from the University of Portsmouth (UK) believes he has found clues to suggest we're living in a computer simulation.  Here's what we know:
  • The physicist's clues:
  1. Limits to how fast light and sound travel; this suggests that they are governed by the speed of a computer processor
  2. He sees symmetry saving computational energy and power
  3. Elementary particles are like pixels
  4. Code for the advanced computer simulation is the law of physics
  5. Professor Melvin Vopson believes the physical behavior of our information resembles the process of compressing code in a computer or the computer deleting it
  • Bottomline:  If you ever feel like a small player in a massive production, this may be the answer.

VIZR & Smartphone Advanced Display Source: VIZR Heads-Up Display Gadget VIZR is an advanced navigation display that grips to the car dashboard. You put your smartphone on VIZR and it turns your smartphone into a transparent display that lets you navigate and drive while never taking your eyes off the road.  The heads-up display (HUD) uses the same technology that fighter pilots use to stay focused.  The system offers a number of apps to view such as navigational tools like GPS, street maps, traffic conditions and speed. Distracted Driving Over 424,000 drivers are injured yearly by distracted driving.  For instance, by looking back and forth between a screen on the car seat and the road.  This new piece of smart gadget technology is designed to change the dynamic and enable the driver to navigate and keep their eyes on the road for greater driving safety.
