Computer simulations carried out by astronomers from the University of Groningen in collaboration with researchers from ...

How can quantum field theories be best formulated on a lattice to optimally simulate them on a computer? The answer comes ...

The idea that reality might be a kind of cosmic software has shifted from late-night dorm debate to a live question in ...

In what used to be a dry cleaner's on Sunset Boulevard, Robert Lempert listened, hands clasped behind his back, as his neighbors finally took a moment to step away from recovery’s endless stream of ...

Quantum computing promises a new generation of computers capable of solving problems hundreds of millions of times more quickly than today’s fastest supercomputers. This is done by harnessing spooky ...

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 ...

One of the most influential science studies of all time started with a modest minicomputer, some simulated boxes of water molecules, and a grand vision for computer-aided chemistry. The year was 1982.

The idea that we’re living inside a simulation, as popularized by “The Matrix” franchise, has piqued the interest of scientists for decades. In 2003, philosopher Nick Bostrom proposed in a highly ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Spoiler: You are not living in a simulation. Advanced simulations have been the subject of fiction from The Matrix to the season ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Researchers say it's impossible to use algorithmic computation to generate everything in our universe. The possibility that our ...

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.

Physicists present evidence that the universe is not a computer simulation. Credit: Amanclos / CC BY 2.0 / Flickr A team of physicists has presented new mathematical evidence that challenges the ...
