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 ...

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 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 ...

A Johnston County man was arrested and charged with death by distribution in an overdose. An analysis found the drugs were laced with carfentanil, fentanyl and ANPP. The charges are tied to a Johnston ...

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 ...

After just two episodes, High Potential is already living rent-free in our heads this season, thanks to a pair of earworms courtesy of DJ Game Master. The Sept. 16 premiere featured The Tokens' "The ...

Recent progress in both analog and digital quantum simulations heralds a future in which quantum computers could simulate — and thereby illuminate — physical phenomena that are far too complex for ...
