The simulation hypothesis—the idea that our universe might be an artificial construct running on some advanced alien computer ...

Astrophysicist, cosmologist and Nobel Prize winner George Smoot has presented some convincing arguments on why he believes we already living in a simulation. He says that the progress of video games ...

We see countless stars and galaxies sparkling in the universe today, but how much matter is actually there? The question is simple enough — its answer, however, is turning out to be quite a ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Unless you, dear reader, are a web-scraping software bot quietly pulling this text into a data-hungry LLM, you’re probably a human. And though you’ve likely never seen me in person, you have good ...

Melvin M. Vopson is affiliated with the University of Portsmouth and the Information Physics Institute. We have long taken it for granted that gravity is one of the basic forces of nature – one of the ...

Looking back at the history of computers, it’s hard to overestimate the rate at which computing power has scaled in the course of just a single human lifetime. But yet, existing classical computers ...
