For years, the idea that reality might be a sophisticated computer program has drifted from late-night dorm debates into ...

The idea that we might be living in a simulated reality has worried us for centuries. Now physicists have found some ...

The universe is a vast and complex structure packed with endless stars, planets, nebulae, and galaxies stretching back almost 14 billion years. While this is the age of the universe, there's a ...

Scientists at the University of British Columbia Okanagan say they’ve found a mathematical limit that shuts down the ...

If we were living in a computer simulation, would we be able to tell we were living in a computer simulation? It's a question that's difficult to answer, but physicist Melvin Vopson of the University ...

Physicist Mir Faizal, Adjunct Professor with UBC Okanagan’s Irving K. Barber Faculty of Science, was not out to shatter the dreams of science fiction enthusiasts when he began to study the limits of ...

A mathematical proof has finally debunked the idea that we live in a simulation, according to a group of international researchers. The theory that the universe could be a computer programme has been ...

Physicists have long struggled to explain why the universe started out with conditions suitable for life to evolve. Why do the physical laws and constants take the very specific values that allow ...

Scientists made a twin version of our universe, showing the evolution of all forms of matter and energy, in the biggest cosmological computer simulation to date. When you purchase through links on our ...

I’ve started making my way (skeptically) through Ray Kurzweil’s How to Create a Mind, and at the recommendation of a friend, I’ve also started keeping tabs on KurzweilAI, a Kurzweil-blessed site ...

Image: This computer-simulated image shows the formation of two high density regions (yellow) in the early universe, approximately 200 million years after the Big Bang. The cores are separated by ...
