Elon Musk is among many fascinated by the idea that our 'reality' is actually an advanced super-computer simulation ...

Now, just as Neo discovered that the "life" he'd been living was little more than an algorithmic construct, scientists and philosophers are arguing that we could be stuck inside a simulation ...

If it’s true that we’re living in a computer simulation. Before getting into the implications, it’s worth asking how remote, exactly, is this “if”? Suppose that the following three ...

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 ...

Meanwhile, the advent of simulation technology will force us to accept that we are likely living in a simulation ourselves. Reality, therefore, may turn out to consist of a vast number of nested ...

Good news, everyone: According to new physics research, reality is probably not a quantum computer simulation designed by a hyper-advanced alien civilization. Takes a load off, doesn’t it? To ...

Simulation theory explores the provocative idea that our reality is a computer simulation, igniting debates on consciousness and the nature of existence.

With a new $250,000 award from the National Science Foundation, Suzanne Shontz will explore new methods for addressing the tangled mesh problem in computer simulations.

The simulation hypothesis, which was famously probed in the 1999 film The Matrix, is the subject of a new book by Rizwan Virk, a computer scientist and video game developer who leads Play Labs at MIT.

In March, China’s Xi Jinping announced that “digital twin” technology, which uses computer simulation to manage real-world systems, is one of six “new productive forces” in which his ...
