Is your life really your life, or is it actually the dream of a butterfly? Or is it a complex computer simulation indistinguishable from “real” reality? Don’t worry, it’s just a glitch in the Matrix.

The idea that reality might be a kind of cosmic software has moved from late night dorm debates into serious physics journals, and now dueling teams of researchers are claiming they finally have the ...

The simulation hypothesis is an impressive logical and philosophical argument that has challenged our fundamental notions of reality.

Scientists are sending millions of questions to AI weekly, speeding up research in physics, chemistry, and biology ...

A breakthrough by UC Davis mathematicians could help scientists get three or four times the performance from supercomputers used to model protein folding, turbulence and other complex atomic-scale ...

There’s no shortage of ways to use PhET simulations in (or out of) the classroom. Effectively, any time you’d use a static PowerPoint slide or textbook image to demonstrate a concept, it’s worth ...
