Physicist Mir Faizal, Adjunct Professor with UBC Okanagan’s Irving K. Barber Faculty of Science, was not out to shatter the dreams of science fiction enthusiasts when he began to study the limits of ...

In their study, they identified what they called "Godelian truths", truths that cannot be defined by any algorithm or fixed ...

A new study suggests that it is mathematically impossible for the universe to be an ultra-sophisticated computer-generated simulation. The study, ...

A team of physicists just dropped a mathematical bombshell that could end the simulation theory debate for good. Backed by ...

Using the exact kind of reasoning a simulation would use to hide that it’s a simulation. Disclaimer: This article is based on ...

Researchers say they've proven that the fundamental nature of reality simply cannot be simulated on any computer.

Researchers used IBM’s quantum computers to create scalable quantum circuits that simulate matter under extreme conditions, offering new insight into fundamental forces and the origins of the universe ...

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 ...
