In this week's It’s Debatable article, Rick Rosen and Charles Moster debate whether we're all living in a computer simulation like the Matrix. Rosen retired as a professor from the Texas Tech ...

Swedish Philosopher Nick Bostrom’s simulation argument says we might be living in a computer-generated reality. Maybe he’s right. There currently exists no known method by which we could ...

He claimed that simulation arguments, like Nick Bostrom’s, are fallacious and that, even if it is true that we live in a computer simulation, we should live our life just the same.

The simulation hypothesis, which was famously probed in the 1999 film The Matrix, is the subject of a new book by Rizwan Virk, a computer scientist and video game developer who leads Play Labs at ...

Unlike the real-world hypothesis, the simulation hypothesis assumes that there is a computer simulation that is generating your experiences. Who produced the computer simulation that you are ...

A new edition of Professor Barry Nelson’s textbook presents a modern view of computer simulation theory and research and its impact in simulation optimization.

NEW YORK — If you, me and every person and thing in the cosmos were actually characters in some giant computer game, we would not necessarily know it. The idea that the universe is a simulation ...

If you, me and every person and thing in the cosmos were actually characters in some giant computer game, we would not necessarily know it. The idea that the universe is a simulation sounds more ...

As you can see, the thought is that a computer simulation can show the potential results of different treatment options. Sounds easy to build?

VIRTUAL UNIVERSE In a snapshot from the Illustris computer simulation of the universe, galaxies (pink) cluster along filaments of dark matter (blue). Shown is the most massive cluster in the ...

The Enlarged Board of Appeal of the European Patent Office (EPO) recently published its decision No. G1/19 on patentability of simulations.

Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) function as inhibitors of ice growth. Computer simulation studies have contributed to the understanding of the molecular-scale mechanism of ice growth inhibition by AFPs ...
