Physicists have spent decades arguing over whether our universe is a fundamental reality or a kind of cosmic software, and ...

If you feel like you're living in a convincing virtual reality akin to The Matrix, a scientist thinks you may well be right. Melvin Vopson, an associate professor in physics at the University of ...

A mathematical proof has finally debunked the idea that we live in a simulation, according to a group of international researchers. The theory that the universe could be a computer programme has been ...

For years, the idea that reality might be a sophisticated computer program has drifted from late-night dorm debates into mainstream culture and serious philosophy. Now a new wave of theoretical work ...

Could we be trapped inside a simulated reality, rather than the physical universe we usually assume? It's a tantalizing theory, long theorized by philosophers and popularized by the 1999 blockbuster ...

His theory echoes the 1999 film's concept of a simulated universe. Are we living in a simulated reality like in the movie 'The Matrix'? Dr. Melvin Vopson, a UK-based physicist, suggests that gravity ...

New research from UBC Okanagan mathematically demonstrates that the universe cannot be simulated. Using Gödel’s incompleteness theorem, scientists found that reality requires “non-algorithmic ...

Look around you. It’s all there, right? It’s real, it’s tangible, it’s the physical world. But, what if it’s not? In the final episode of the series, Britt and Ellie discover the ideas of Simulation ...
