What if your reality was nothing more than a complex computer simulation? And if you were just a program on someone else’s hard drive, how would you know? The Trump administration might’ve gone one ...

In what used to be a dry cleaner's on Sunset Boulevard, Robert Lempert listened, hands clasped behind his back, as his neighbors finally took a moment to step away from recovery’s endless stream of ...

One of the most influential science studies of all time started with a modest minicomputer, some simulated boxes of water molecules, and a grand vision for computer-aided chemistry. The year was 1982.

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.

A research team at the Jülich Supercomputing Center, together with experts from NVIDIA, has set a new record in quantum simulation: for the first time, a universal quantum computer with 50 qubits has ...

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 ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Despite how it may feel some days, we probably aren’t stuck in a ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Researchers say it's impossible to use algorithmic computation to generate everything in our universe. The possibility that our ...

The natural complexity of the universe should phase out the possibility of some advanced civilization controlling reality itself, researchers argue. Reading time 3 minutes How do we know we’re not ...

A computer simulation developed at MIT and commissioned by the Club of Rome in the early 1970s projected a possible collapse of civilization around 2040—if growth, resources and pollution trends ...

At 4-2, the Patriots are in first place in the AFC East with a very manageable schedule in front of them beginning with Sunday’s game at Tennessee. Could they be a playoff contender? Both the ...

Security teams are drowning in threat intelligence. Every day brings with it reports of new malware campaigns, novel C2 channels, bespoke evasion tricks, and stealthier persistence methods. These ...
