A computer in a simulation will not have the same processing power as the computer that's running the simulation, Cain explains, so there will be inconsistencies or tell-tale signs, perhaps ...

The reality we understand and interact with daily might, according to some scientists, be nothing more than an elaborate ...

For example, a team of theoretical physicists from Oxford University asserts there aren't enough atoms in the universe to create sufficient computing memory for storing a realistic simulation of ...

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 ...

Abstract R is an open-source programming language and environment with powerful and extensive features for data analysis, data visualization, and statistical computing. Although R first appeared in ...

Or whether we’re living in a computer simulation, something proposed by Swedish philosopher Nick Bostrom and others, and maybe your stoned friend Chad last week.

The hypothesis that you are just a computer simulation is far less plausible than that you operate in reality via your senses.

A decade ago, a British philosopher put forth the possibility that our universe might be a computer simulation run by our descendants. Now, physicists have come up with a potential test to see if ...

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

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 ...

Boiler simulation can be a useful tool for in-depth investigation of various operating issues in an HRSG. The examples presented here used relatively straightforward steady-state models to look ...
