Physicists have spent decades arguing over whether our universe is a fundamental reality or a kind of cosmic software, and ...

If true (and it’s a pretty big “if”), Vopson’s new gravitational study would shake the foundations of the currently accepted view of the universe. In his paper, Vopson writes that his new work could ...

In the study, Dr Faizal linked the argument to mathematical theorems on incompleteness, concluding: “It requires ...

If we were living in a computer simulation, would we be able to tell we were living in a computer simulation? It's a question that's difficult to answer, but physicist Melvin Vopson of the University ...

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 ...

Neil deGrasse Tyson hosted a debate at which he and several other scientists expressed support for the idea that we live in a computer simulation. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on X ...

File this one under "fun to think about, probably not changing your day job": a new study just dropped that suggests gravity itself might be the smoking gun that our entire universe is one big ...

An experiment seeks to confirm the "fifth state of matter in the universe" and suggests we live in a simulation. This discovery would potentially change physics as we know it. Dr. Melvin Vopson, a ...

Physicist Mir Faizal, Adjunct Professor with UBC Okanagan’s Irving K. Barber Faculty of Science, was not out to shatter the dreams of science fiction enthusiasts when he began to study the limits of ...

We have long taken it for granted that gravity is one of the basic forces of nature–one of the invisible threads that keeps the universe stitched together. But suppose that this is not true. Suppose ...
