Do we live in a simulation? Expert breaks down the mind-blowing theory
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 ...
Computer simulations carried out by astronomers from the University of Groningen in collaboration with researchers from ...
The discovery reinforces established theories about space. There could be many more satellite galaxies orbiting the Milky Way than previously thought or observed, according to astronomers. As many as ...
A new simulation tool lets scientists explore whether self-interacting dark matter could reshape galaxies from the inside out.
A flat plane of dark matter beyond the Local Group may explain why nearby galaxies move away from us instead of falling ...
"We studied the last several orbits before the merger, when the entwined magnetic fields undergo rapid and dramatic changes, ...
The solution to a persistent astronomical question that has puzzled scientists for half a century has emerged not from direct observation, but from the computing power of sophisticated computer ...
