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

The simulation hypothesis—the idea that our universe might be an artificial construct running on some advanced alien computer ...

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 FLAMINGO super simulation maps the universe from its earliest moments but finds galaxies cluster less than cosmological ...

A supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the US has just pulled off the largest astrophysical simulation of the Universe accomplished to date. In November 2024, physicists used 9,000 ...

I’ve started making my way (skeptically) through Ray Kurzweil’s How to Create a Mind, and at the recommendation of a friend, I’ve also started keeping tabs on KurzweilAI, a Kurzweil-blessed site ...

Physicists have spent decades arguing over whether our universe is a fundamental reality or a kind of cosmic software, and ...

When scientists push the limits of the world's most powerful supercomputers, they often find those limits are just the beginning of what's possible. In early November, the Department of Energy's ...

Scientific research is normally about chemistry but this time its history. Researchers are using epic computing powers to develop a simulation of the ancient universe. Some 13 billion years of ...

The Bolshoi supercomputer simulation, the most accurate and detailed large cosmological simulation run to date, gives physicists and astronomers a powerful new tool for understanding such cosmic ...

If you are interested in learning more about what could possibly happen in our future and the future of the universe. You might be interested in the Claude 3 Universe Simulation, takes you on an ...
