Research team includes astrophysicists, computer scientists, artists, and philosophers from UC Riverside, USC, and Carnegie ...

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 ...

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

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

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 ...

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

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

The origin of our Universe remains one of the greatest enigmas of science, a question that seems to defy the limits of our ...

According to the story by ScienceAlert, astronomy is quite different from other sciences due to only having a sample size of 1. Since the cosmos contains everything observable, astronomers can't just ...

If you've heard of simulation theory -- the idea that our entire universe could be running inside of some sort of extra-dimensional computer -- there's a good chance you encountered it from a high ...

The visible cosmos may contain roughly 6 x 10^80 — or 600 million trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion — bits of information, according to a new estimate. The findings could have ...
