Few scientific ideas have leapt from philosophy seminars to dinner-table debates as quickly as the claim that our universe might be an artificial construct. The simulation hypothesis promises a ...

A mathematical proof has finally debunked the idea that we live in a simulation, according to a group of international researchers. The theory that the universe could be a computer programme has been ...

Scientists have demonstrated after decades of theorising how light interacts with vacuum, recreating a bizarre phenomenon predicted by quantum physics. Classical physics predicts that light beams pass ...

If recent measurements of cosmic ray particles are correct, then we may have the first evidence that the universe as we know it is really a giant computer simulation. Humans have explored the laws of ...
