Using advanced computer simulations, researchers from the University of Rhode Island's Graduate School of Oceanography (GSO) ...

The idea that reality might be a kind of cosmic software has shifted from late-night dorm debate to a live question in ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. What if everything we experience in the world was nothing more than an elaborate simulated reality? The simulation hypothesis ...

Few scientific ideas have leapt from philosophy seminars to dinner-table debates as quickly as the claim that our universe might be an artificial construct. The simulation hypothesis promises a ...

Here’s why some people believe we’re living in a computer simulation of reality – like a giant video game in which we’re all the characters.

USING COMPUTER simulation to evaluate the performance of wet scrubbers has saved Babcock & Wilcox (B&W) up to $70,000 and four weeks of work. Because the design of wet scrubbers depends upon the fuel ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
