Mathematicians say they've proven the universe can't be a simulation
A team of physicists claims to have killed the simulation hypothesis with math. According to Science Daily, researchers led by Dr. Mir Faizal at UBC Okanagan used Gödel's incompleteness theorem to ...
Exploring the possibilities of unfamiliar artefacts and perceptual technologies, the incompleteness theorem promises to distract and disorientate in the service of a feedback system of mirrors, lights ...
The idea that our Universe might be nothing more than a giant computer simulation, similar to what science fiction depicts, has captivated minds for several years. A recent study conducted at the ...
