Researchers led by the University of Tsukuba present computer simulations that capture the complex dynamics of elusive neutrinos left over from the Big Bang Current simulations of cosmic structure ...

Scientists made a twin version of our universe, showing the evolution of all forms of matter and energy, in the biggest cosmological computer simulation to date. When you purchase through links on our ...

For years, the idea that reality might be a sophisticated computer program has drifted from late-night dorm debates into ...

In his first year of graduate school, in 2013, Michael Wagman walked into his advisor’s office and asked, “Can you help me simulate the universe?” Wagman, a theoretical physicist and associate ...

When scientists push the limits of the world's most powerful supercomputers, they often find those limits are just the beginning of what's possible. In early November, the Department of Energy's ...

I’ve started making my way (skeptically) through Ray Kurzweil’s How to Create a Mind, and at the recommendation of a friend, I’ve also started keeping tabs on KurzweilAI, a Kurzweil-blessed site ...

A new paper published in Nature Communications could put scientists on the path to understanding one of the wildest, hottest, ...

It looks like fireflies flickering in the darkness. Slowly, more and more amass, lighting up the screen in large chunks and clusters. But this is not a video about insects. It’s a simulation of the ...

Fundamental limits on the smallest possible lengths of time and space mean that some events obeying basic laws of physics can never be predicted, it now seems, even with the most powerful computer ...
