The theory that we are living in a computer simulation may sound bizarre, but it has found adherents. The technology entrepreneur Elon Musk has said that the odds that we are not simulated are ...

It’s possible, too, to find theological implications in the idea that we are living in a simulation. In a 2014 book called “Your Digital Afterlives,” the philosopher Eric Steinhart explores ...

The NEST project site describes it as a simulator ideal for networks of spiking neurons of any size. NEST was put to work to replicate a network of 1.73 billion nerve cells and 10.4 trillion synapses.

Simulation, particularly through gaming, offers unprecedented personal and societal development opportunities. As we move into a future where the virtual and real boundaries continue to blur, we ...

A computer simulation originally developed to explain how founders influence the level of diversity of a startup can also be applied to understanding why the new administration will likely be more ...

To realize this feat, the program recruited 82,944 processors of the K computer. The process took 40 minutes to complete the simulation of 1 second of neuronal network activity in real, biological, ...

Fifteen reasons why we might be living in a simulation, including irrefutable evidence under discussion on the “Are We Living in a Simulation?” and “Glitch in the Matrix” sub-Reddits.

Facebook has developed a shadow social network inhabited entirely by bots in an effort to better understand how trolls and scammers operate on its platform.. The Web-Enabled Simulation (WES) was ...

Theoretical physicists have dispelled the idea we are living in a Matrix-style computer simulation, calculating that not all aspects of our reality can be simulated efficiently using computers.
