A team of international physicists has delivered a striking challenge to one of the most provocative ideas in modern science: ...

Using the exact kind of reasoning a simulation would use to hide that it’s a simulation. Disclaimer: This article is based on ...

Physicist Mir Faizal, Adjunct Professor with UBC Okanagan’s Irving K. Barber Faculty of Science, was not out to shatter the dreams of science fiction enthusiasts when he began to study the limits of ...

Is our entire universe just a computer simulation? It sounds like the premise for a sci-fi movie, but over the years the idea has been debated by scientists in earnest. But now theoretical physicists ...

Is it possible to simulate the entire universe on a computer smaller than the universe? Physics seems to be telling us that it’s possible to simulate the entire universe on a computer smaller than the ...

It’s a plot device beloved by science fiction: our entire universe might be a simulation running on some advanced civilization’s supercomputer. But new research from UBC Okanagan has mathematically ...

Grab some popcorn, turn on some Pink Floyd, and prepare to have your mind blown. Astronomers have created the most advanced simulation to date of the evolution of the universe over billions of years.

Physicists have long struggled to explain why the universe started out with conditions suitable for life to evolve. Why do the physical laws and constants take the very specific values that allow ...

A new study suggests that it is mathematically impossible for the universe to be an ultra-sophisticated computer-generated simulation. The study, ...

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 ...
