Researchers say it's impossible to use algorithmic computation to generate everything in our universe. The possibility that our entire universe merely exists inside a computer simulation is more than ...

Elon Musk and others find it plausible that our experiences result from events in a computer simulation, just like the characters in the Matrix movies. An alternative view, supported by both common ...

If such a simulation were possible, the simulated universe could itself give rise to life, which in turn might create its own simulation. This recursive possibility makes it seem highly unlikely that ...

The idea that reality might be a computer simulation has moved from philosophical thought to scientific discussion. Advances ...

Deformable object simulation forms a cornerstone of modern computer graphics, enabling the realistic rendering and interactive manipulation of soft, flexible materials ranging from cloth and ...
