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

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

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

A supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the US has just pulled off the largest astrophysical simulation of the Universe accomplished to date. In November 2024, physicists used 9,000 ...

When scientists push the limits of the world's most powerful supercomputers, they often find those limits are just the beginning of what's possible. In early November, the Department of Energy's ...

An international collaboration of astronomers has created the most detailed simulation yet of the early stages of the universe. The simulation can be seen in the video below, showing the first light ...

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 ...

Scientific research is normally about chemistry but this time its history. Researchers are using epic computing powers to develop a simulation of the ancient universe. Some 13 billion years of ...

The visible cosmos may contain roughly 6 x 10^80 — or 600 million trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion — bits of information, according to a new estimate. The findings could have ...

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) created a simulation of the universe's origins. It focuses on a happening that may have happened in the early days of when it started. The simulation is ...

The Bolshoi supercomputer simulation, the most accurate and detailed large cosmological simulation run to date, gives physicists and astronomers a powerful new tool for understanding such cosmic ...
