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

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

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

If such a simulation were possible, the simulated universe could itself give rise to life, which in turn might create its own simulation. This recursive possibility makes it seem highly unlikely that ...

A new technique allows complex interactions in materials to be simulated using Monte Carlo simulations thousands of times ...

A new framework, built using Nvidia Omniverse, Microsoft Azure and accelerated Synopsys physics, has already been deployed by ...

The simulated universe theory implies that our universe, with all its galaxies, planets and life forms, is a meticulously programmed computer simulation. In this scenario, the physical laws governing ...

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations are complex, computationally expensive and not typically something that startups focus on. But that’s exactly what Boston- and Berlin-based Dive is doing ...

James is a published author with multiple pop-history and science books to his name. He specializes in history, space, strange science, and anything out of the ordinary.View full profile James is a ...

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 ...
