The idea that reality might be a kind of cosmic software has moved from late night dorm debates into serious physics journals ...

Reading course on current topics in stochastic simulation design and analysis, including some subset of input modeling, output analysis, experiment design, simulation optimization, model risk, ...

Dr. Vopson argues that we’re living in a simulation because the mathematics behind how the universe functions doesn’t match ...

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

Ultracold atoms have successfully mimicked a fundamental quantum effect normally found in electronic circuits.

If you’re interested in VR, you’ve probably thought at least once or twice about the simulation hypothesis—the idea that we might actually already be living in a virtual reality world. Many people are ...

In an essay for The Conversation, physicist Melvin Vopson of the University of Portsmouth in England laid out the theory behind his simulation test, which builds on the idea that a “simulated universe ...

The universe is full of fascinating physics that have been experimentally confirmed but are still far from fully explained. In an unpublished paper, circa 2018, titled The P2P Simulation Hypothesis ...
