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

The notion that our universe might be a giant simulation has intrigued scientists and philosophers for decades. Recent ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.' ...

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

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

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 ...

Neil deGrasse Tyson hosted a debate at which he and several other scientists expressed support for the idea that we live in a computer simulation. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on X ...

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 ...
