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

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 ...

Unless you, dear reader, are a web-scraping software bot quietly pulling this text into a data-hungry LLM, you’re probably a human. And though you’ve likely never seen me in person, you have good ...

Undergraduate science labs were once pretty predictable—pulleys and circuits, rocks and minerals, titrations and unknowns, bacterial brews and pickled piglets. But today’s science lab student, in one ...

The notion that we live as characters in someone else’s video game is irresistible to many, even outside of science fiction bookshelves. Googling the term “simulation hypothesis” returns numerous ...

Sandia National Laboratories scientist Rémi Dingreville has co-developed a way to speed up virtually any kind of computer simulation, a ubiquitous research tool across science and industry.

Last year, 18 percent of Stanford University seniors graduated with a degree in computer science, more than double the proportion of just a decade earlier. Over the same period at MIT, that rate went ...

New landmark peer-reviewed paper published in Science, “Beyond-Classical Computation in Quantum Simulation,” unequivocally validates D-Wave’s achievement of the world’s first and only demonstration of ...
