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

A new research paper reframes the simulation hypothesis, asking whether reality could be simulated and what science can test.

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 ...

Dr. Vopson argues that we’re living in a simulation because the mathematics behind how the universe functions doesn’t match ...

Spoiler: You are not living in a simulation. Advanced simulations have been the subject of fiction from The Matrix to the season two episode of The Twilight Zone (2019), “Downtime.” As our real-world ...

Recent progress in both analog and digital quantum simulations heralds a future in which quantum computers could simulate — and thereby illuminate — physical phenomena that are far too complex for ...

Le journal de l'astronomie et de l'espace is a web publication of the Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie de Paris (universcience.fr). It features astronomy news, in-depth articles and films to help ...
