A scientist proposes a new law of physics suggesting the universe may be a digital simulation, linking physics, biology, and ...

Information could become the fifth state of matter alongside gas, plasma, liquid, and solid states. A scientist has proposed ...

Frontier, the second fastest supercomputer in the world, used dark matter and the movement of gas and plasma rather than just ...

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 ...

Scientists have used the world's fastest supercomputer to show the universe as it has never been seen before. In this ...

Furthermore, it is very exciting to find a new class of celestial objects in the simulation, especially since we have already identified some candidates that exist in our Milky Way galaxy.' ...

Recent progress on both analog and digital simulations of quantum fields foreshadows a future in which quantum computers ...

A study led by the University of Surrey has used high-resolution simulations to solve a centuries-old cosmic mystery in astronomy—the origin of globular clusters—and unexpectedly discovered a new type ...

For more than two decades, some scientists have pondered the possibility that life as we know is actually an unfathomably complex simulation. While some suggest looking for “glitches” to find evidence ...

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 ...
