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

If true (and it’s a pretty big “if”), Vopson’s new gravitational study would shake the foundations of the currently accepted view of the universe. In his paper, Vopson writes that his new work could ...

The reality we understand and interact with daily might, according to some scientists, be nothing more than an elaborate simulation. This hypothesis, intriguing as it may be, is supported by various ...

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 ...

Russell has a PhD in the history of medicine, violence, and colonialism. His research has explored topics including ethics, science governance, and medical involvement in violent contexts. Russell has ...

File this one under "fun to think about, probably not changing your day job": a new study just dropped that suggests gravity itself might be the smoking gun that our entire universe is one big ...

If we were living in a computer simulation, would we be able to tell we were living in a computer simulation? It's a question that's difficult to answer, but physicist Melvin Vopson of the University ...

Unless you, dear reader, are a web-scraping software bot quietly pulling this text into a data-hungry LLM, you’re probably a human. And though you’ve likely never seen me in person, you have good ...

Virtual Reality is a computer-generated simulation that allows users to interact with a three-dimensional environment. The four elements that characterize virtual reality and differentiate it from ...
