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

Abstract: Vacuum circuit breakers are widely used in medium-voltage power systems, and the post-arc breakdown is a key factor limiting performance of the vacuum circuit breakers. In this work, a 2-D ...

Thomas Anderson – otherwise known as Neo – is walking up a flight of stairs when he sees a black cat shake itself and walk past a doorway. Then the moment seems to replay before his eyes. Just a touch ...

In this video, we simulate the motion of an object near Earth using Python! Watch how we apply physics and programming to model realistic motion, from gravity to orbital paths. #PythonSimulation ...

Abstract: Superconducting quantum circuits constitute one of the most advanced and promising platforms for building fault-tolerant quantum computers. However, the associated relatively short coherence ...

New research from UBC Okanagan mathematically demonstrates that the universe cannot be simulated. Using Gödel’s incompleteness theorem, scientists found that reality requires “non-algorithmic ...

The idea that we’re living inside a simulation, as popularized by “The Matrix” franchise, has piqued the interest of scientists for decades. In 2003, philosopher Nick Bostrom proposed in a highly ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Despite how it may feel some days, we probably aren’t stuck in a ...

If such a simulation were possible, the simulated universe could itself give rise to life, which in turn might create its own simulation. This recursive possibility makes it seem highly unlikely that ...

Forget about turtles; for all practical purposes, it’s really particles all the way down. Consider the seemingly simple matter of their size, the very thing that makes them so alien. We’re typically ...
