The curious minds at Aperture explore the provocative hypothesis that our reality could be a complex computer simulation.

Googling the term “simulation hypothesis” returns numerous results that debate whether the universe is a computer simulation—a concept that some scientists actually take seriously.

Our universe is the 'ultimate computer', Professor Vopson theorizes in a new paper. Gravity's pull – both on planet Earth and in outer space – is the universe trying to keep its vast amount of ...

Conclusion #1: For some reason, our future descendants, or any other beings living in the Universe, will be unable to build such a simulation, either because of some limitation in computing that ...

Of some help could be a new computer simulation that traces how all elements of the universe — ordinary matter, dark matter and dark energy — evolve according to the laws of physics.

We have long taken it for granted that gravity is one of the basic forces of nature—one of the invisible threads that keeps the universe stitched together. But suppose that this is not true.

The simulated universe theory implies that our universe, with all its galaxies, planets and life forms, is a meticulously programmed computer simulation. In this scenario, the physical laws ...

Physicist Seth Lloyd from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the US took the simulation hypothesis to the next level by suggesting that the entire universe could be a giant quantum computer.

What if gravity were informed by the way matter was arranged in the universe — and a sign that we were living in a reality composed by a giant computer? In a new paper published in the journal ...

Are we living in a Matrix-style simulated universe? New research says it's possible The idea that the cosmos runs on quantum codes has existed for years, but every now and then a philosopher or ...

In recent years the idea that our universe, including ourselves and all of our innermost thoughts, is a computer simulation, running on a thinking machine of cosmic capacity, has permeated culture ...

Of some help could be a new computer simulation that traces how all elements of the universe — ordinary matter, dark matter and dark energy — evolve according to the laws of physics.
