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

Dr. Vopson argues that we’re living in a simulation because the mathematics behind how the universe functions doesn’t match ...

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

Physicists have spent decades arguing over whether our universe is a fundamental reality or a kind of cosmic software, and ...

Gravity is usually presented as the most familiar of nature’s forces, the quiet background pull that keeps feet on sidewalks ...

Hala Nelson and her colleagues wanted to cook the perfect steak. So they decided to use math. The researchers created a mathematical simulation of a lean slab of beef roasting in an oven. That ...

In the early 1970s, astronauts drove a lunar rover — a dune buggy, of sorts — bouncing around on the moon on short treks. It holds an interest for Stephen Montgomery-Smith, a math professor at the ...
