Pictures are the key to new insights in the field of astrophysics. Such images include simulations of cosmic events, which ...

New computer simulations that model every atom of a protein as it folds into its final three-dimensional form support the ...

The technological bent to what's now called the simulation hypothesis was formalized in the paper "Are we living in a computer simulation?" by Nick Bostrom in 2003.

The Simulation Hypothesis This provocative idea is at the heart of the “simulation hypothesis,” a philosophical concept introduced in 2003. It proposes that if a civilization becomes ...

For some applications, Snurr writes, top-performing MOF candidates can be found via computer simulations that predict the adsorption of molecules such as hydrogen, methane, and carbon dioxide. A ...

Presumably, simulations will eventually become sophisticated enough that we could re-create our entire experience of the Universe within a computer, with simulated conscious brains experiencing a ...

No simulation showed a total shutdown before 2100, said lead author Jonathan Baker, an oceanographer at the Met Office. It could happen later, though, he said.

2. The simulation hypothesis requires unfounded extra assumptions about the origin of the computer program that simulates you. Theories are supposed to be simple in having a small number of ...

Sherry Turkle, who says that computer simulations have introduced some strange problems into reality. In her new book, Simulation and Its Discontents (MIT Press), Ms. Turkle, a professor of the ...

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.
