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 ...

From ancient Greek philosopher Plato to Neo, hero of the dystopian film fantasy The Matrix, humans have long pondered the true nature of reality. Can we trust what we see, taste, touch, smell, and ...

Central charge, a key quantity in conformal field theories, is crucial in the study of critical phenomena, yet its measurement has remained elusive. Here, the authors extract the central charge of ...

Investopedia contributors come from a range of backgrounds, and over 25 years there have been thousands of expert writers and editors who have contributed. Gordon Scott has been an active investor and ...

Abstract: This paper presents a simulation-based benchmarking analysis of three reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms—Soft Actor-Critic (SAC), Deep Q-Network (DQN), and Proximal Policy Optimization ...

There's an addictive quality to a government game that's unlike the rush you get from shooters or RPGs, although the escapism is no less real. Whether you're setting economic and trade policies, ...

Molecular dynamics is a method that uses Newton’s equations of motion to computationally simulate the time evolution of a set of interacting atoms. Such techniques are dependent on a description of ...

Abstract: In this paper, we introduce a novel electro-thermo-mechanical simulation framework utilizing the unified FDTD method for efficient and accurate analysis of electrical, thermal, stress, and ...

This repository contains a Simscape model of a quadrupeded robot able to walk on flat and inclined terrain, with a environment that presents different obstacles, and the posibility of open-loop or ...
