The idea that we might be living in a simulation has intrigued scientists, philosophers, and the general public for years.

The simulation hypothesis suggests our universe could be a digital creation, not a physical “base” reality. Philosopher Nick Bostrom, in his 2003 paper Are You Living in a Computer Simulation ...

Philosopher Nick Bostrom brought simulation theory and AI superintelligence into the public psyche — and now he has a new ...

Simulation theory explores the provocative idea that our reality is a computer simulation, igniting debates on consciousness and the nature of existence.

A physicist at the University of Portsmouth in the United Kingdom claims to have new evidence that we're living in a Matrix-style computer simulation.

In 2003, Oxford philosopher Nick Bostrom published a paper called Are You Living In A Computer Simulation? Bostrom’s thought experiment argues that at least one of three possible scenarios is true.

Physicist Melvin Vopson offered a new interpretation of gravity, arguing that it could be evidence that reality is a computer simulation.

If we were in a hyper-realistic simulation, à la The Matrix, would it be possible to escape? Computer scientist Roman Yampolskiy has outlined in a new paper how we might escape, and what that ...

Out There Are We Living in a Computer Simulation, and Can We Hack It? A popular cosmological theory holds that the cosmos runs on quantum codes. So how hard could it be to tweak the supreme algorithm?

In fact, if we do live in a simulation, it is likely that a great deal of our universe is “painted in”. This can lead you to solipsism, the idea that you are the only person who really exists.

It’s also given to city leaders, policymakers, and social workers to help them appreciate the struggles of those living in poverty. It can be given either face-to-face or virtually.

That we’re living in a computer simulation—it sounds like a paranoid fantasy. But it’s a possibility that futurists, philosophers, and scientific cosmologists treat increasingly seriously ...
