In 2003, philosopher Nick Bostrom proposed in a highly influential paper that if a civilization were to become capable of creating simulated universes, it would create so many of them — many of them ...

For more than a quarter of a century since its release, 'The Matrix' has fueled modern fears that life is not all it seems. But according to a scientist, the classic movie's premise may not be ...

The technology that has helped propel the simulation theory may be new, but the questions it explores are ancient.

Scientists at Google have revealed a new method of "quantum simulation" that uses computing power to mimic the behavior of a powerful quantum system. This approach, they argue, could lead to quantum ...
