A new computer simulation of how our brains develop and grow neurons has been built. Along with improving our understanding of how the brain works, researchers hope that the models will contribute to ...

Future events such as the weather or satellite trajectories are computed in tiny time steps, so the computation must be both ...

Unless you, dear reader, are a web-scraping software bot quietly pulling this text into a data-hungry LLM, you’re probably a human. And though you’ve likely never seen me in person, you have good ...

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

Scientists at the University of British Columbia Okanagan say they’ve found a mathematical limit that shuts down the ...

Is this real life? Is this just fantasy? A growing number of scientists are suggesting that the idea that we are all living in a simulation may not be completely far-fetched. Simulation theory is the ...

REDSTONE ARSENAL, Ala. — When could a computer simulation substitute for a wind tunnel or flight test? It is the hot topic today in research and development circles. And there are many spirited ...

Expertise from Forbes Councils members, operated under license. Opinions expressed are those of the author. We spend millions securing infrastructure and optimizing workflows, but the systems most ...

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 ...

In this visualization, each dot represents a gas parcel with a mass approximately 1,000 times that of the Sun in the simulation of the cosmic Dark Ages. The left and right panels compare the cold and ...

Faint radio signals from the early Universe, soon detectable by Moon missions, may reveal how dark matter shaped gas cooling and clumping in the cosmic Dark Ages. Ordinary matter, which makes up the ...
