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

If true (and it’s a pretty big “if”), Vopson’s new gravitational study would shake the foundations of the currently accepted view of the universe. In his paper, Vopson writes that his new work could ...

The simulation hypothesis—the idea that our universe might be an artificial construct running on some advanced alien computer—has long captured the public imagination. Yet most arguments about it rest ...

The notion that our universe might be a giant simulation has intrigued scientists and philosophers for decades. Recent advancements in technology and theoretical physics have reignited this debate, ...

A team of physicists claims to have killed the simulation hypothesis with math. According to Science Daily, researchers led by Dr. Mir Faizal at UBC Okanagan used Gödel's incompleteness theorem to ...

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." Many philosophers and scientists have pondered if we live in a simulated universe, and University of ...

New research from UBC Okanagan mathematically demonstrates that the universe cannot be simulated. Using Gödel’s incompleteness theorem, scientists found that reality requires “non-algorithmic ...

FLAMINGO simulation maps the universe but reveals a puzzling mismatch: galaxies cluster less than theory predicts.

If such a simulation were possible, the simulated universe could itself give rise to life, which in turn might create its own simulation. This recursive possibility makes it seem highly unlikely that ...

Astronomers have released a set of more than a million simulated images showcasing the cosmos as NASA’s upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will see it. This preview will help scientists ...
