Gravity may not be a fundamental force of nature, but a byproduct of the universe streamlining information like a cosmic computer. Reading time 3 minutes We have long taken it for granted that gravity ...

Elon Musk and others find it plausible that our experiences result from events in a computer simulation, just like the characters in the Matrix movies. An alternative view, supported by both common ...

Researchers at the University of British Columbia Okanagan have published a mathematical argument that, they say, rules out the possibility that this universe is a computer simulation. The claim, made ...

The simulated universe theory implies that our universe, with all its galaxies, planets and life forms, is a meticulously programmed computer simulation. In this scenario, the physical laws governing ...

If recent measurements of cosmic ray particles are correct, then we may have the first evidence that the universe as we know it is really a giant computer simulation. Humans have explored the laws of ...

It’s rare that an interesting story starts with sitting in a Biology 1B class, but on some occasions, I suppose it happens. While I liked to complain about the lab assignments and midterms, Biology 1B ...
