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 ...

The idea that reality might be a kind of cosmic software has moved from late night dorm debates into serious physics journals ...

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 ...

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 ...

File this one under "fun to think about, probably not changing your day job": a new study just dropped that suggests gravity itself might be the smoking gun that our entire universe is one big ...

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 ...

Scientists from Durham University and Liverpool John Moores University along with colleagues at Leiden University in Holland created the simulation. They hope it will allow researchers to compare the ...

It’s a plot device beloved by science fiction: our entire universe might be a simulation running on some advanced civilization’s supercomputer. But new research from UBC Okanagan has mathematically ...

The infant universe transforms from a featureless landscape to an intricate web in a new supercomputer simulation of the cosmos’s formative years. An animation from the simulation shows our universe ...

Neil deGrasse Tyson hosted a debate at which he and several other scientists expressed support for the idea that we live in a computer simulation. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on X ...

An experiment seeks to confirm the "fifth state of matter in the universe" and suggests we live in a simulation. This discovery would potentially change physics as we know it. Dr. Melvin Vopson, a ...
