Gravity used to be the most down-to-earth of ideas, the thing that kept apples falling and planets in line. Now a growing ...

The simulation hypothesis—the idea that our universe might be an artificial construct running on some advanced alien computer ...

Physicists have spent decades arguing over whether our universe is a fundamental reality or a kind of cosmic software, and ...

If true (and it’s a pretty big “if”), Vopson’s new gravitational study would shake the foundations of the currently accepted view of the universe. In his paper, Vopson writes that his new work could ...

FLAMINGO simulation maps the universe but reveals a puzzling mismatch: galaxies cluster less than theory predicts.

Even consciousness could reveal its secrets someday with this realistic simulation, researchers hope. It will not only ...

The Monte Carlo simulation estimates the probability of different outcomes in a process that cannot easily be predicted because of the potential for random variables.

Black holes are among the most extreme objects in the universe, and now scientists can model them more accurately than ever ...

Using a specially developed simulation model, researchers at the University of Cologne have traced and analyzed the dynamics ...
