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

The simulation hypothesis—the idea that our universe might be an artificial construct running on some advanced alien computer—has long captured the public imagination. Yet most arguments about it rest ...

The Otsego County Library will host a lecture on the sinking of the RMS Lusitania from 6-7 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 10. The event will feature local historian David Kaplan, who will delve into the ...

A research team at the Jülich Supercomputing Center, together with experts from NVIDIA, has set a new record in quantum simulation: for the first time, a universal quantum computer with 50 qubits has ...

The British ocean liner was torpedoed by the Germans during World War I, killing over one thousand people and changing the tide of war. But controversy still surrounds the disaster as some questions ...

The true nature of our universe as been an open debate for millennia, and recently, scientists and philosophers have pondered whether it might be a hyper-realistic simulation perpetuated by some super ...

Researchers at the quantum computing firm Quantinuum used a new Helios-1 quantum computer to simulate a mathematical model that has long been used to study superconductivity. These simulations are not ...
