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 ...

The idea that reality might be a kind of cosmic software has moved from late night dorm debates into serious physics journals ...

Elon Musk and others find it plausible that our experiences result from events in a computer simulation, just like the characters in the Matrix movies. An alternative view, supported by both common ...

A new computer simulation of how our brains develop and grow neurons has been built by scientists from the University of Surrey. Along with improving our understanding of how the brain works, ...

The background image shows the present-day distribution of matter in a slice through the largest FLAMINGO simulation, which is a cubic volume of 2.8 Gpc (9.1 billion light years) on a side. The ...

It’s rare that an interesting story starts with sitting in a Biology 1B class, but on some occasions, I suppose it happens. While I liked to complain about the lab assignments and midterms, Biology 1B ...

The simulated universe theory implies that our universe, with all its galaxies, planets and life forms, is a meticulously programmed computer simulation. In this scenario, the physical laws governing ...

What if your reality was nothing more than a complex computer simulation? And if you were just a program on someone else’s ...
