For years, the idea that reality might be a sophisticated computer program has drifted from late-night dorm debates into ...
A team of international physicists has delivered a striking challenge to one of the most provocative ideas in modern science: ...
New research from UBC Okanagan mathematically demonstrates that the universe cannot be simulated. Using Gödel’s incompleteness theorem, scientists found that reality requires “non-algorithmic ...
A supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the US has just pulled off the largest astrophysical simulation of the Universe accomplished to date. In November 2024, physicists used 9,000 ...
Physicist Mir Faizal, Adjunct Professor with UBC Okanagan’s Irving K. Barber Faculty of Science, was not out to shatter the dreams of science fiction enthusiasts when he began to study the limits of ...
However, astronomers now say that the effect of ordinary matter, which makes up only 16 percent of all matter in the Universe, and neutrinos, tiny particles that rarely interact with normal matter, ...
The powerful space telescope will take a vastly wider look at the universe than Hubble or the James Webb Space Telescope, potentially helping to unravel pressing cosmic mysteries. When you purchase ...
The Bolshoi supercomputer simulation, the most accurate and detailed large cosmological simulation run to date, gives physicists and astronomers a powerful new tool for understanding such cosmic ...
