We have long taken it for granted that gravity is one of the basic forces of nature–one of the invisible threads that keeps the universe stitched together. But suppose that this is not true. Suppose ...

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

Is this real life? Is this just fantasy? A growing number of scientists are suggesting that the idea that we are all living in a simulation may not be completely far-fetched. Simulation theory is the ...

Swedish Philosopher Nick Bostrom’s simulation argument says we might be living in a computer-generated reality. Maybe he’s right. There currently exists no known method by which we could investigate ...

The simulated universe theory implies that our universe, with all its galaxies, planets and life forms, is a meticulously programmed computer simulation. In this scenario, the physical laws governing ...

Monisha Ravisetti was a science writer at CNET. She covered climate change, space rockets, mathematical puzzles, dinosaur bones, black holes, supernovas, and sometimes, the drama of philosophical ...

What if the classic late 90s sci-fi flick The Matrix actually had it right? What if we're all just living inside of a computer simulation? That's the idea behind a 2003 paper by Nick Bostrom, a ...

“There’s a one in a billion chance that this is reality.” – Elon Musk There is a growing school of thought in the scientific community that we are all living inside a computer simulation designed by a ...

We see countless stars and galaxies sparkling in the universe today, but how much matter is actually there? The question is simple enough — its answer, however, is turning out to be quite a ...

If a stranger told you the whole world was a fraud and you were living in a computer simulation, would you believe them? Movies don’t often choose their moments, so it’s a happy accident that two ...

Simulation Theory, a start-up dedicated to reducing waste by optimizing compute resources, has successfully raised $2 million in pre-seed funding. Simulation Theory’s technology allows businesses to ...
