U.S. researchers have created what they say is the first scientifically accurate 3-D simulation of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York.

Physicist Seth Lloyd from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the US took the simulation hypothesis to the next level by suggesting that the entire universe could be a giant quantum computer.

Recent progress on both analog and digital simulations of quantum fields foreshadows a future in which quantum computers ...

For all we know we are, in fact, in a vast computer simulation. Here’s a version of the simulation argument that I am fond of.

The largest ever computer simulation of our universe has deepened a debate in cosmology.

The theory of a simulated universe suggests that our reality is a computer simulation, with physical laws being algorithms and our experiences being created by computational processes. Scientists ...

Like pilots, some business executives are using computer simulations so their companies and organizations will be as prepared as possible to respond to a variety of crisis situations.

A new edition of Professor Barry Nelson’s textbook presents a modern view of computer simulation theory and research and its impact in simulation optimization.

He claimed that simulation arguments, like Nick Bostrom’s, are fallacious and that, even if it is true that we live in a computer simulation, we should live our life just the same.

Dr Melvin Vopson published the research in AIP Advances which suggests that the universe behaves just like a computer, ordering and deleting unnecessary information.

In the computer simulation department, efficient and highly precise numerical methods are developed and used for the calculation of complex flows with combustion.

The notion that our universe might be a giant simulation has intrigued scientists and philosophers for decades. Recent ...
