A groundbreaking computational physics framework has demonstrated that the three-dimensional fabric of the universe can be generated from scratch using a simple algorithm with exactly zero free ...

Researchers at the University of British Columbia Okanagan have published a mathematical argument that, they say, rules out ...

Is your life really your life, or is it actually the dream of a butterfly? Or is it a complex computer simulation indistinguishable from “real” reality? Don’t worry, it’s just a glitch in the Matrix.

Few scientific ideas have leapt from philosophy seminars to dinner-table debates as quickly as the claim that our universe might be an artificial construct. The simulation hypothesis promises a ...

Mathematical simulation is a computational method that uses formal mathematical models—such as systems of differential equations, stochastic processes, or optimization formulations—to numerically ...

A mathematical trick speeds up seismic calculations for earthquake simulations and could revolutionize earthquake preparedness.

A breakthrough by UC Davis mathematicians could help scientists get three or four times the performance from supercomputers used to model protein folding, turbulence and other complex atomic-scale ...

The Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, recently released the results of the nation's first end-to-end Space Weather Tabletop Exercise (TTX), held in May 2024. The ...
