A new research paper reframes the simulation hypothesis, asking whether reality could be simulated and what science can test.

If you feel like you're living in a computer simulation like The Matrix, you might actually be onto something. That's according to Melvin Vopson, an associate professor in physics at the University of ...

Gravity used to be the most down-to-earth of ideas, the thing that kept apples falling and planets in line. Now a growing ...

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 ...

Researchers have created the most detailed simulation of the history of the universe, complete with exploding gas clouds, swirling galaxies, ravenous black holes and countless stars – born to die in ...

Physicists say they may have evidence that the universe is a computer simulation. How? They made a computer simulation of the universe. And it looks sort of like us. A long-proposed thought experiment ...

Computational models and simulations have had an important role in engineering analysis since as far back as the 1960s. It is widely recognized that the use of modeling and simulation tools can make ...

A patient is rushed to hospital after suffering a severe stroke. Immediate action is needed to return blood to the affected part of their brain; without this they may suffer brain damage or die.

The user-friendly computational simulations developed at the University of Sheffield and subsequently commercialised through the successful, award-winning spinout company Simcyp Ltd enable ...
