Holographic Principle Could Apply To Our Universe

New submitter citpyrc sends this news from the Vienna University of Technology: The "holographic principle" asserts that a mathematical description of the universe actually requires one fewer dimension than it seems. What we perceive as three dimensional may just be the image of two dimensional processes on a huge cosmic horizon. Up until now, this principle has only been studied in exotic spaces with negative curvature. This is interesting from a theoretical point of view, but such spaces are quite different from the space in our own universe. Results obtained by scientists at Vienna (abstract) now suggest that the holographic principle even holds in a flat spacetime, like ours.

Windows 10 Will Free Your Desktop

[Anonymous Coward]

Linux has gone too far. They are forcing GNOME3 and systemd down our throats and almost all major distros have been converted. The systemd / GNOME3 SJWs will not stop until every desktop is running their stack. One day, it will be impossible to even open vim without systemd running in the background. The only solution is Windows 10. Microsoft is opening up the PC and mobile market to give you a safe harbor from these cults. Windows 10 will allow for true cross platform development on a lightweight, modern UI, with high quality development tools and documentation. Windows 10 will give you the tools to free yourselves from the GNOME3 + systemd duopoly.
