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

Advanced computer models can quantify the impacts of climate change and other environmental challenges, providing deep ...

The simulation hypothesis—the idea that our universe might be an artificial construct running on some advanced alien computer ...

Black holes are among the most extreme objects in the universe, and now scientists can model them more accurately than ever ...

Thomas Anderson – otherwise known as Neo – is walking up a flight of stairs when he sees a black cat shake itself and walk past a doorway. Then the moment seems to replay before his eyes. Just a touch ...

Do We Live In a Simulation? Gauging whether or not we dwell inside someone else’s computer may come down to advanced AI research—or measurements at the frontiers of cosmology. Lawmakers react to US ...

The true nature of our universe as been an open debate for millennia, and recently, scientists and philosophers have pondered whether it might be a hyper-realistic simulation perpetuated by some super ...

Researchers have mathematically proven that the universe cannot be a computer simulation. Reality, they argue, is rooted in a “non-algorithmic understanding” that no algorithm could ever replicate.

Physicists present evidence that the universe is not a computer simulation. Credit: Amanclos / CC BY 2.0 / Flickr A team of physicists has presented new mathematical evidence that challenges the ...

The idea that we might be living inside a vast computer simulation, much like in The Matrix, has fascinated philosophers and scientists for years. But a new study from researchers at the University of ...

A degree in computer science used to promise a cozy career in tech. Now, students’ ambitions are shaped by AI, in fields that blend computing with analysis, interpretation, and data. But in 2025, the ...
