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

Astronomers have uncovered a colossal, searing-hot filament of gas linking four galaxy clusters in the Shapley Supercluster a ...

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.

Scientists have built detailed Milky Way simulations under strange new physical laws to probe dark matter, revealing how ...

A simulation of the ‘cosmic web’, the vast network of threads and filaments that extends throughout the Universe. Stars, galaxies, and galaxy clusters spring to life in the densest knots of this web, ...

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.

Scientists have used the world's fastest supercomputer to show the universe as it has never been seen before. In this incredible video, scientists from the Department of Energy’s Argonne ...

Are we living in “The Matrix” in real life? In the 1999 science-fiction film, Neo discovers that the universe is a simulation — but one scientist believes that the idea isn’t all fiction.

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 ...

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 ...
