Using advanced computer simulations, researchers from the University of Rhode Island's Graduate School of Oceanography (GSO) ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. What if everything we experience in the world was nothing more than an elaborate simulated reality? The simulation hypothesis ...

The idea that reality might be a kind of cosmic software has shifted from late-night dorm debate to a live question in ...

Few scientific ideas have leapt from philosophy seminars to dinner-table debates as quickly as the claim that our universe might be an artificial construct. The simulation hypothesis promises a ...

USING COMPUTER simulation to evaluate the performance of wet scrubbers has saved Babcock & Wilcox (B&W) up to $70,000 and four weeks of work. Because the design of wet scrubbers depends upon the fuel ...

It’s rare that an interesting story starts with sitting in a Biology 1B class, but on some occasions, I suppose it happens. While I liked to complain about the lab assignments and midterms, Biology 1B ...

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 ...

A new computer simulation of how our brains develop and grow neurons has been built by scientists from the University of Surrey. Along with improving our understanding of how the brain works, ...

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 ...

The background image shows the present-day distribution of matter in a slice through the largest FLAMINGO simulation, which is a cubic volume of 2.8 Gpc (9.1 billion light years) on a side. The ...
