If recent measurements of cosmic ray particles are correct, then we may have the first evidence that the universe as we know it is really a giant computer simulation. Humans have explored the laws of ...

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 9 - Industry, innovation and infrastructure and SDG 16 - Peace, justice and strong institutions. Computer simulation, ranging from video ...

Quantum computer research is advancing at a rapid pace. Today's devices, however, still have significant limitations: For example, the length of a quantum computation is severely limited—that is, the ...

Few scientific ideas have leapt from philosophy seminars to dinner-table debates as quickly as the claim that our universe ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed a highly efficient method to investigate systems with long-range interactions that were previously puzzling to experts. These systems can be gases or even solid materials ...

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, ...

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

Deformable object simulation forms a cornerstone of modern computer graphics, enabling the realistic rendering and interactive manipulation of soft, flexible materials ranging from cloth and ...

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 ...
