A trip to the national championship is on the line when the College Football Playoff semifinals take place on Thursday and Friday. The first matchup of the CFP semifinals will feature the No. 6 Ole ...

Scientists at the University of Colorado Boulder may have solved a pressing mystery about the universe's gravitational wave ...

Scientists have spent six years building a sophisticated simulation system that creates "pixel-perfect" data that mimics what ...

A new research paper reframes the simulation hypothesis, asking whether reality could be simulated and what science can test.

Gravity used to be the most down-to-earth of ideas, the thing that kept apples falling and planets in line. Now a growing ...

Researchers at the University of Cologne use simulations to investigate the likelihood of interactions between Neanderthals and anatomically modern humans on the Iberian Peninsula / publication in ...

Thomas Anderson – otherwise known as Neo – is walking up a flight of stairs when he sees a black cat shake itself and walk past a doorway. Then the moment seems to replay before his eyes. Just a touch ...

To simulate the behavior of physical systems more accurately than ever, Kobe University YAGUCHI Takaharu and his team have developed an approach that can learn physically accurate computation methods ...

For decades, philosophers, technologists, and even billionaires like Elon Musk have toyed with the idea that our universe might be a highly sophisticated computer simulation. The idea represents one ...

The true nature of our universe as been an open debate for millennia, and recently, scientists and philosophers have pondered whether it might be a hyper-realistic simulation perpetuated by some super ...

Researchers say it's impossible to use algorithmic computation to generate everything in our universe. The possibility that our entire universe merely exists inside a computer simulation is more than ...

Researchers have mathematically proven that the universe cannot be a computer simulation. Reality, they argue, is rooted in a “non-algorithmic understanding” that no algorithm could ever replicate.
