The simulation hypothesis—the idea that our universe might be an artificial construct running on some advanced alien computer ...
A new research paper reframes the simulation hypothesis, asking whether reality could be simulated and what science can test.
The Universe is constantly expanding. It changes, creating new structures that merge. But how does our Universe evolve? Physicists at the University of Geneva (UNIGE), Switzerland, have developed a ...
Physicists have spent decades arguing over whether our universe is a fundamental reality or a kind of cosmic software, and ...
Gravity used to be the most down-to-earth of ideas, the thing that kept apples falling and planets in line. Now a growing ...
The FLAMINGO super simulation maps the universe from its earliest moments but finds galaxies cluster less than cosmological ...
If true (and it’s a pretty big “if”), Vopson’s new gravitational study would shake the foundations of the currently accepted view of the universe. In his paper, Vopson writes that his new work could ...
In the basement of Kirchhoff-Institut für Physik in Germany, researchers have been simulating the Universe as it might have existed shortly after the Big Bang. They have created a tabletop quantum ...
A supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the US has just pulled off the largest astrophysical simulation of the Universe accomplished to date. In November 2024, physicists used 9,000 ...
How can the universe’s turbulence influence the Earth? This is what a recent study published in Nature Astronomy hopes to address as a team of scientists compared a phenomenon throughout the universe ...
