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

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 ...

A mathematical proof has finally debunked the idea that we live in a simulation, according to a group of international researchers. The theory that the universe could be a computer programme has been ...

The late ‘90s were a weird time. Home computing became increasingly common and the internet hatched into existence, still gooey and ill-mannered. As we turned the millennial page, technology promised ...

What if the classic late 90s sci-fi flick The Matrix actually had it right? What if we're all just living inside of a computer simulation? That's the idea behind a 2003 paper by Nick Bostrom, a ...

Dr. Vopson argues that we’re living in a simulation because the mathematics behind how the universe functions doesn’t match ...

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 ...

One of the most unusual speculations in the realm of science and tech is that the universe itself isn’t real. But the idea is almost certainly nonsense, mathematician Jonathan Bartlett, director of a ...

Scientists and philosophers meet at the bleeding edge of simulation theory. Because the question is so big, many experts approach it from very different angles. The weighted Bayesian calculation has a ...
