On Thursday, a large group of university and private industry researchers unveiled Genesis, a new open source computer simulation system that lets robots practice tasks in simulated reality 430,000 ...

The idea that reality might be a kind of cosmic software has moved from late night dorm debates into serious physics journals ...

What would it take to turn the entire cosmos into software-down to the rules that generate space and time? For decades, the simulation hypothesis has resided comfortably in the gap between philosophy ...

Simulation means exploring the workings of one thing by studying something else, whether it involves computation or not. The Oxford English Dictionary offers a definition of 'simulate' as “to give a ...

The effects of the radiation environment on the instruments of the XMM-Newton spacecraft were modeled with GEANT4 prior to launch by the European Space Agency in 1999. XMM-Newton carries the most ...

Science doesn’t have all the answers. There are plenty of things it may never prove, like whether there’s a God. Or whether we’re living in a computer simulation, something proposed by Swedish ...

The introduction of full 3D-ICs will require a simultaneous analysis of various physical effects under different workloads, a step-function change that will add complexity at every step of the design ...
