As sunlight filters through the trees and the soft hum of conversation fills the air, you sit in a café, cradling a warm cup ...

A groundbreaking computational physics framework has demonstrated that the three-dimensional fabric of the universe can be generated from scratch using a simple algorithm with exactly zero free ...

Researchers at the University of British Columbia Okanagan have published a mathematical argument that, they say, rules out ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Could the Earth and everything on it – and even the whole universe – be a simulation running on a giant computer? OsakaWayne ...

Is this real life? Is this just fantasy? A growing number of scientists are suggesting that the idea that we are all living in a simulation may not be completely far-fetched. Simulation theory is the ...

Ever since Oxford philosopher Nick Bostrom proposed his simulation argument in 2001, the nerdiverse has attempted to assess the possibility that reality is not really real, that what we experience as ...

File this one under "fun to think about, probably not changing your day job": a new study just dropped that suggests gravity itself might be the smoking gun that our entire universe is one big ...

Elon Musk and others find it plausible that our experiences result from events in a computer simulation, just like the characters in the Matrix movies. An alternative view, supported by both common ...

Scientists are harnessing the alternative physics of the quantum realm to create computers of unprecedented power, potentially revolutionizing fields from drug discovery to climate modeling. Quantum ...
