Jim Elvidge (born in 1958) is an American author, management consultant and entrepreneur. He was also responsible for a number of entrepreneurial ventures, including developing one of the first PC-based music samplers in 1988 and co-founding RadioAMP, the internet's first private-label web radio company. Elvidge is currently an agile and leadership consultant helping companies become more lean, innovative, and agile in all aspects of their business. Education Elvidge received a Master’s Degree in electrical engineering from Cornell University in 1981, with a specialization in digital signal processing. Career Professionally, his career has been mostly in the high tech industry, where he has held a variety of engineering and senior management positions. Elvidge holds a patent on Telephone Network Measuring. Outside of the high-tech arena, however, Elvidge has had an alternative career, focusing on a form of digital philosophy by synthesizing ideas from the varied fields of artificial intelligence, cosmology, nanotechnology, quantum mechanics, and the paranormal. This unique blend of knowledge provided the foundation for his first book, The Universe-Solved!, written from 2006 to 2007 and published in 2008. He frequently appears on talk radio shows that focus on futurology and digital philosophy. The nature of "The Universe-Solved!" is to provide categories of evidence that support the idea that our reality is both digital and under some sort of programmatic control, which Elvidge calls "programmed reality." He has contributed a special focus on demonstrating that the many and various anomalies of Quantum mechanics have simple cohesive explanations in the programmed reality model, including Quantum entanglement, , non-reality, non-locality, and the apparent retrocausality of the delayed choice quantum eraser experiment. In fact, he points out that these anomalies are actually requirements of an efficient digital reality model. Elvidge maintains a collection of categories of supporting evidence for digital philosophy, including the four presented in the book plus others identified since the book was published, including many from other thought leaders in the field. There is a significant overlap between the concepts presented in Elvidge's writing and ideas from other scientists, technologists, and philosophers, such as Thomas Warren Campbell, Edward Fredkin, Seth Lloyd, Nick Bostrom, and Brian Whitworth.
