Quantum computers still face a major hurdle on their pathway to practical use cases: their limited ability to correct the ...

We know that an overloaded processor slows down computer processing in a simulation. Similarly, Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity shows that time slows in the vicinity of a black hole.

As a result, this “supports the idea that we’re living in a simulation.” Dr Vopson is serious about this idea and, last year, ...

The simulation theory is not unique to Professor Vopson; in fact, it's popular among a number of well-known figures including Tesla founder Elon Musk and American astrophysicist Neil Degrasse Tyson.

Elon Musk has said that there is only a “one in billions” chance that we’re not living in a computer simulation.. Our lives are almost certainly being conducted within an artificial world ...

In 2003, the computer scientist David Harel pronounced the simulation of C. elegans a “grand challenge” for biology, a field that he considered overdue for an “extremely significant ...

Are we living in “The Matrix” in real life? In the 1999 science-fiction film, Neo discovers that the universe is a simulation — but one scientist believes that the idea isn’t all fiction ...

Whenever he isn’t busy writing about tech or gadgets, he can usually be found enjoying a new world in a video game, or tinkering with something on his computer. Joshua Hawkins's latest stories ...
