Grab some popcorn, turn on some Pink Floyd, and prepare to have your mind blown. Astronomers have created the most advanced simulation to date of the evolution of the universe over billions of years.

We have long taken it for granted that gravity is one of the basic forces of nature – one of the invisible threads that keeps the universe stitched together. But suppose that this is not true. Suppose ...

If you feel like you're living in a convincing virtual reality akin to The Matrix, a scientist thinks you may well be right. Melvin Vopson, an associate professor in physics at the University of ...

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

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

The notion that our universe might be a giant simulation has intrigued scientists and philosophers for decades. Recent advancements in technology and theoretical physics have reignited this debate, ...

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 have used the world's fastest supercomputer to show the universe as it has never been seen before. In this incredible video, scientists from the Department of Energy’s Argonne National ...

Researchers say it's impossible to use algorithmic computation to generate everything in our universe. The possibility that our entire universe merely exists inside a computer simulation is more than ...
