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

Gravity used to be the most down-to-earth of ideas, the thing that kept apples falling and planets in line. Now a growing ...

Gravity is usually presented as the most familiar of nature’s forces, the quiet background pull that keeps feet on sidewalks ...

Researchers combined computer simulations and transmission electron microscopy experiments to better understand the ordering mobility and formation of microstructure domains in Fe3Al alloy. They were ...

Ultracold atoms have successfully mimicked a fundamental quantum effect normally found in electronic circuits.

If you’re interested in VR, you’ve probably thought at least once or twice about the simulation hypothesis—the idea that we might actually already be living in a virtual reality world. Many people are ...

In an essay for The Conversation, physicist Melvin Vopson of the University of Portsmouth in England laid out the theory behind his simulation test, which builds on the idea that a “simulated universe ...

Reading course on current topics in stochastic simulation design and analysis, including some subset of input modeling, output analysis, experiment design, simulation optimization, model risk, ...

The Japan Transport Safety Board has conducted a simulation experiment as part of its investigation into a fatal aircraft ...

The universe is full of fascinating physics that have been experimentally confirmed but are still far from fully explained. In an unpublished paper, circa 2018, titled The P2P Simulation Hypothesis ...
