The simulation hypothesis—the idea that our universe might be an artificial construct running on some advanced alien computer ...

A new research paper reframes the simulation hypothesis, asking whether reality could be simulated and what science can test.

If true (and it’s a pretty big “if”), Vopson’s new gravitational study would shake the foundations of the currently accepted view of the universe. In his paper, Vopson writes that his new work could ...

The Monte Carlo simulation estimates the probability of different outcomes in a process that cannot easily be predicted because of the potential for random variables.

Futurism readers may recognize Rizwan Virk as the MIT researcher touting a new book arguing that we’re likely living in a game-like computer simulation. Now, in new interview with Vox, Virk goes even ...

In the 4 th century BC, the Greek philosopher Plato theorised that humans do not perceive the world as it really is. All we can see is shadows on a wall. In 2003, the Swedish philosopher Nick Bostrom ...

Using a specially developed simulation model, researchers at the University of Cologne have traced and analyzed the dynamics ...
