Reality is stranger than you think. Seriously. While we go about our daily lives, convinced we understand the basics of ...

When astronomers look deep into the early universe, the expectation is simple. You should see young galaxies still assembling ...

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

When you step onto an icy sidewalk or push off on skis, the surface can seem to vanish beneath you. For more than a century, ...

To simulate the behavior of physical systems more accurately than ever, Kobe University YAGUCHI Takaharu and his team have developed an approach that can learn physically accurate computation methods ...

A research team at the Jülich Supercomputing Center, together with experts from NVIDIA, has set a new record in quantum simulation: for the first time, a universal quantum computer with 50 qubits has ...

For decades, philosophers, technologists, and even billionaires like Elon Musk have toyed with the idea that our universe might be a highly sophisticated computer simulation. The idea represents one ...

Researchers at the quantum computing firm Quantinuum used a new Helios-1 quantum computer to simulate a mathematical model that has long been used to study superconductivity. These simulations are not ...

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 ...

Researchers have mathematically proven that the universe cannot be a computer simulation. Reality, they argue, is rooted in a “non-algorithmic understanding” that no algorithm could ever replicate.

A team of physicists from Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Italy has mathematically shown that our Universe is built on a type of understanding that exists beyond the reach of any ...

Security teams are drowning in threat intelligence. Every day brings with it reports of new malware campaigns, novel C2 channels, bespoke evasion tricks, and stealthier persistence methods. These ...
