What if your reality was nothing more than a complex computer simulation? And if you were just a program on someone else’s ...

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

The simulated universe theory implies that our universe, with all its galaxies, planets and life forms, is a meticulously programmed computer simulation. In this scenario, the physical laws governing ...

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 ...

I was invited by the American Humanist Association to present the arguments of my paper “Natural Evil and the Simulation Hypothesis” at the national conference this past weekend. It was fun: I met a ...

An experiment seeks to confirm the "fifth state of matter in the universe" and suggests we live in a simulation. This discovery would potentially change physics as we know it. Dr. Melvin Vopson, a ...

It’s rare that an interesting story starts with sitting in a Biology 1B class, but on some occasions, I suppose it happens. While I liked to complain about the lab assignments and midterms, Biology 1B ...

The built environment faces increasing pressures from climate change, resource limitations, and rapid urbanisation.

USING COMPUTER simulation to evaluate the performance of wet scrubbers has saved Babcock & Wilcox (B&W) up to $70,000 and four weeks of work. Because the design of wet scrubbers depends upon the fuel ...
