The idea that reality might be a kind of cosmic software has moved from late night dorm debates into serious physics journals ...

Dr. Vopson argues that we’re living in a simulation because the mathematics behind how the universe functions doesn’t match ...

In an essay for The Conversation, physicist Melvin Vopson of the University of Portsmouth in England laid out the theory behind his simulation test, which builds on the idea that a “simulated universe ...

A new research paper reframes the simulation hypothesis, asking whether reality could be simulated and what science can test.

If you’re interested in VR, you’ve probably thought at least once or twice about the simulation hypothesis—the idea that we might actually already be living in a virtual reality world. Many people are ...

Reading course on current topics in stochastic simulation design and analysis, including some subset of input modeling, output analysis, experiment design, simulation optimization, model risk, ...

Gravity is usually presented as the most familiar of nature’s forces, the quiet background pull that keeps feet on sidewalks and planets in orbit. A growing group of physicists is now treating that ...
