Much like Neo in The Matrix, one computer scientist explores how humanity could hack its way out of its own simulation.

All the world’s a stage. Or is it a simulation? The idea that what we consider reality is actually a simulation was first proposed by scientist Nick Bostrom, and it is frequently addressed in fiction ...

That hypothesis, famously probed in the 1999 film The Matrix, is the subject of a new book by Rizwan Virk, a computer scientist and video game developer who leads Play Labs at the Massachusetts ...

Simulation theory proposes that our reality is a sophisticated computer simulation, raising profound questions about the nature of consciousness and existence. Simulation theory is a fascinating ...

In this week's It’s Debatable article, Rick Rosen and Charles Moster debate whether we're all living in a computer simulation like the Matrix. Rosen retired as a professor from the Texas Tech ...

Computer simulations have allowed researchers to view the very large and very small with unprecedented ability; however, it often comes at a cost. As I have written previously, if one is to 'truly' ...

The first simulation of a wormhole on a quantum computer may not have been an accurate representation of a wormhole after all. Since the original simulation was announced last year, another group of ...

Improvements in computing capabilities have made it possible to bring sophisticated computer-based trading simulations into the classroom. Two related questions are addressed in this educational ...
