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 ...

To better understand which social media platforms Americans use, Pew Research Center surveyed 5,022 U.S. adults from Feb. 5 to June 18, 2025. SSRS conducted this National Public Opinion Reference ...

A team led by Cleveland Clinic’s Kenneth Merz, PhD, and IBM’s Antonio Mezzacapo, PhD, is developing quantum computing methods to simulate and study supramolecular processes that guide how entire ...

Head-on (left) and side-view (right) snapshots of a galactic disk of gas. These snapshots of gas distribution after a supernova explosion were generated by the deep learning surrogate model.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A team at the University at Buffalo has made it possible to simulate complex quantum systems without needing a supercomputer. By expanding the truncated Wigner approximation, they’ve created an ...

He’s gray-haired, bearded, wearing no shoes and standing at Rae Spencer’s doorstep. “Babe,” the content creator wrote in a text to her husband. “Do you know this man? He says he knows you?” Spencer’s ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Dr. Lance B. Eliot is a world-renowned AI scientist and consultant. In today’s column, I examine the use of AI to simulate ...

The consortium running the European Space Agency's (ESA) Euclid mission has published the most extensive simulation of the cosmos to date. The modeling was based on algorithms developed by UZH ...
