A new research paper reframes the simulation hypothesis, asking whether reality could be simulated and what science can test.

A viral theory claims world ended in 2012 and humanity now lives in a simulation. The idea is linked to Mayan calendar and ...

The FLAMINGO super simulation maps the universe from its earliest moments but finds galaxies cluster less than cosmological ...

Gravity used to be the most down-to-earth of ideas, the thing that kept apples falling and planets in line. Now a growing ...

A new simulation model shows Earth's evolution over the past 100 million years in a very detailed manner. The sun sets behind artist Luke Jerram's 'Floating Earth' at Pennington Flash on November 22, ...

How does the Earth generate its magnetic field? While the basic mechanisms seem to be understood, many details remain unresolved. A team of researchers from the Center for Advanced Systems ...

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 ...

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 ...

Simulation theory proposes that our reality is a sophisticated computer simulation, raising profound questions about the nature of consciousness and existence. Simulation theory is a fascinating ...

ACM, the Association for Computing Machinery, today presented a 26-member team with the ACM Gordon Bell Prize for Climate Modeling in recognition of their project "Computing the Full Earth System at 1 ...
