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

When scientists push the limits of the world's most powerful supercomputers, they often find those limits are just the beginning of what's possible. In early November, the Department of Energy's ...

The Frontier supercomputer's calculations provide a new foundation for simulating the universe's conventional physics, but also the enigmatic behaviors and properties of dark matter. Reading time 3 ...

As we delve deeper into the cosmos, artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming an indispensable tool, enabling scientists to simulate universes on a scale never seen before. This novel approach is not ...

A top goal in cosmology is to precisely measure the total amount of matter in the universe, a daunting exercise for even the most mathematically proficient. A team led by scientists at the University ...

The mystery of how the first quasars in the universe formed—something that has baffled scientists for nearly 20 years—has now been solved by a team of astrophysicists whose findings are published in ...

I’ve started making my way (skeptically) through Ray Kurzweil’s How to Create a Mind, and at the recommendation of a friend, I’ve also started keeping tabs on KurzweilAI, a Kurzweil-blessed site ...
