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

For two decades, scientists have seriously considered whether we’re living in a simulated universe. A computer scientist at the University of Louisville explores ways that humans could try to hack our ...

In the study, Dr Faizal linked the argument to mathematical theorems on incompleteness, concluding: “It requires non-algorithmic understanding, which by definition is beyond algorithmic computation ...

What if gravity were informed by the way matter was arranged in the universe — and a sign that we were living in a reality composed by a giant computer? In a new paper published in the journal AIP ...

Creating a virtual brain may sound like a science-fiction nightmare, but for neuroscientists in Japan and at Seattle’s Allen Institute, it’s a big step toward a long-held dream. They say their ...

Researchers at the quantum computing firm Quantinuum used a new Helios-1 quantum computer to simulate a mathematical model that has long been used to study superconductivity. These simulations are not ...

In this week's It’s Debatable article, Rick Rosen and Charles Moster debate whether we're all living in a computer simulation like the Matrix. Rosen retired as a professor from the Texas Tech ...
