The possibility that our entire universe merely exists inside a computer simulation is more than an idle science fiction ...

Advanced simulations have been the subject of fiction from The Matrix to the season two episode of The Twilight Zone (2019), ...

In the words of Dr. Lawrence M. Krauss, space and time cannot contain the fundamental laws of physics because they generate ...

A scientific study disproves the idea that the universe is a computer simulation, proving reality cannot be reproduced by algorithms.

What if gravity were informed by the way matter was arranged in the universe — and a sign that we were living in a reality composed by a giant computer? In a new paper published in the journal AIP ...

File this one under "fun to think about, probably not changing your day job": a new study just dropped that suggests gravity itself might be the smoking gun that our entire universe is one big ...

We have long taken it for granted that gravity is one of the basic forces of nature–one of the invisible threads that keeps the universe stitched together. But suppose that this is not true. Suppose ...

More than 20 years ago, futurist intellectual Nick Bostrom upended the psyches of tech bros the world around when he proposed in a 2003 Philosophical Quarterly paper that we all may be living in a ...

This series of Playable Futures articles considers how the design, technology, people, and theory of video games are informing and influencing the wider world. For this series' final entry, we're ...

Lattice gauge theory provides a powerful framework for discretising gauge theories to explore the fundamental interactions that underlie particle physics and complex condensed matter phenomena. By ...

Gas kinetic theory provides the fundamental framework for understanding the behaviour of gases from the molecular scale to macroscopic flow phenomena. Recent developments in simulation methods have ...
