There’s a 50 percent chance we’re living in a computer simulation, according to new analysis. A scientist from Columbia University in the US claims it’s not too far-fetched to suggest our reality is a ...

Researchers say it's impossible to use algorithmic computation to generate everything in our universe. The possibility that our entire universe merely exists inside a computer simulation is more than ...

Researchers have developed a computer simulation of asteroid collisions that initially sought to replicate model asteroid strikes performed in a laboratory. After verifying the accuracy of the ...

All the Latest Game Footage and Images from Computer Virus Simulator Safely experience the danger and excitement of digital chaos! In a world where cyber security breaches are on the rise, take this ...

USING COMPUTER simulation to evaluate the performance of wet scrubbers has saved Babcock & Wilcox (B&W) up to $70,000 and four weeks of work. Because the design of wet scrubbers depends upon the fuel ...

A new essay explores which conditions must be met for consciousness to exist. At least one of them can't be found in a computer. Would it be desirable for artificial intelligence to develop ...

If such a simulation were possible, the simulated universe could itself give rise to life, which in turn might create its own simulation. This recursive possibility makes it seem highly unlikely that ...

In this week's It’s Debatable article, Rick Rosen and Charles Moster debate whether we're all living in a computer simulation like the Matrix. Rosen retired as a professor from the Texas Tech ...

A research team at the Humboldt University Berlin and the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research (Leibniz-IZW) developed an agent-based computer model to simulate the journey of sperm cells ...

Elon Musk and others find it plausible that our experiences result from events in a computer simulation, just like the characters in the Matrix movies. An alternative view, supported by both common ...
