A new research paper reframes the simulation hypothesis, asking whether reality could be simulated and what science can test.

Gravity is usually presented as the most familiar of nature’s forces, the quiet background pull that keeps feet on sidewalks and planets in orbit. A growing group of physicists is now treating that ...

Quantum field theory (QFT) is a physics framework that describes how particles and forces behave based on principles rooted in quantum mechanics and Albert Einstein's special relativity theory. This ...

The simulation hypothesis—the idea that our universe might be an artificial construct running on some advanced alien computer—has long captured the public imagination. Yet most arguments about it rest ...

Scientists show how quantum computing could be a game-changer in our understanding of quantum processes. When two heavy ions collide inside a particle accelerator, they produce a near-perfect fluid ...

Physics simulations using classical mechanics is something that’s fairly easily done on regular consumer hardware, with ...

Physicists are quietly rolling out a new generation of simulation codes that promise to do more than crunch numbers. By ...

Luminary is rethinking physics simulation workflows spanning GPU clusters from the ground up. The new company hopes the new architecture and business model will impact the simulation industry as much ...
