If it’s true, this work could have ramifications for some of the biggest mysteries of the universe, including learning where ...

Research conducted by Melvin Vopson from the University of Portsmouth suggests the possibility that information may have mass. This discovery supports the simulation hypothesis, which could completely ...

An astrophysicist says he has been able to rule out one theory that we are all actually living in some sort of simulation.

With suitably powerful computers at their disposal, the simulation-builders wouldn’t just stop at one brain in one Universe; they would make a bunch of Universes, each containing a bunch of brains.

In case you're wondering whether we're all living in a simulation or not, a scientist has explained some new research that ...

A USC-led research team has created a series of supercomputer-simulated twins of our Milky Way galaxy—which could help ...

The simulation traces the evolution of the large-scale structure of the universe, including the evolution and distribution of the dark matter halos in which galaxies coalesced and grew. Initial ...

Googling the term “simulation hypothesis” returns numerous results that debate whether the universe is a computer simulation—a concept that some scientists actually take seriously.

The supercomputer is called Frontier; a team of researchers recently used it to run the largest astrophysical simulation of the universe yet. The supercomputer’s simulation size corresponds to ...

And by studying the simulation’s 100 million synthetic galaxies, they will see how galaxies and galaxy clusters evolved over eons. Repeated mock observations of a particular slice of the universe ...
