Dr Melvin Vopson published the research in AIP Advances which suggests that the universe behaves just like a computer, ordering and deleting unnecessary information. What if everything we experience ...

All the world’s a stage. Or is it a simulation? The idea that what we consider reality is actually a simulation was first proposed by scientist Nick Bostrom, and it is frequently addressed in fiction ...

Simulation theory proposes that our reality is a sophisticated computer simulation, raising profound questions about the nature of consciousness and existence. Simulation theory is a fascinating ...

We have long taken it for granted that gravity is one of the basic forces of nature–one of the invisible threads that keeps the universe stitched together. But suppose that this is not true. Suppose ...

Elon Musk and others find it plausible that our experiences result from events in a computer simulation, just like the characters in the Matrix movies. An alternative view, supported by both common ...

The theory of a simulated universe suggests that our reality is a computer simulation, with physical laws being algorithms and our experiences being created by computational processes. Scientists and ...

In 2003, Nick Bostrom blew minds with “Are You Living in a Computer Simulation?,” a hugely influential philosophy paper positing that — you guessed it — our reality could actually be a computer ...

Conspiracy theories are nothing new on TikTok, and another one of them has gone viral, offering alleged proof we are all living in a simulated universe created and controlled by some unknown power we ...

The first simulation of a wormhole on a quantum computer may not have been an accurate representation of a wormhole after all. Since the original simulation was announced last year, another group of ...

The notion that we live as characters in someone else’s video game is irresistible to many, even outside of science fiction bookshelves. Googling the term “simulation hypothesis” returns numerous ...
