Researchers say they've proven that the fundamental nature of reality simply cannot be simulated on any computer.

The late ‘90s were a weird time. Home computing became increasingly common and the internet hatched into existence, still gooey and ill-mannered. As we turned the millennial page, technology promised ...

A new study suggests that, at least mathematically speaking, the idea doesn’t hold up, as some facets of reality can’t be explain purely algorithmically.

Monisha Ravisetti was a science writer at CNET. She covered climate change, space rockets, mathematical puzzles, dinosaur bones, black holes, supernovas, and sometimes, the drama of philosophical ...

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

Is this real life? Is this just fantasy? A growing number of scientists are suggesting that the idea that we are all living in a simulation may not be completely far-fetched. Simulation theory is the ...

Simulation theory proposes that our reality is a sophisticated computer simulation, raising profound questions about the nature of consciousness and existence. Simulation theory is a fascinating ...

The simulated universe theory implies that our universe, with all its galaxies, planets and life forms, is a meticulously programmed computer simulation. In this scenario, the physical laws governing ...

One of the most unusual speculations in the realm of science and tech is that the universe itself isn’t real. But the idea is almost certainly nonsense, mathematician Jonathan Bartlett, director of a ...
