Googling the term “ simulation hypothesis ” returns numerous results that debate whether the universe is a computer simulation —a concept that some scientists actually take seriously.

Our understanding of cosmology hinges on how well we know our own local universe, which remains poorly mapped and poorly ...

You can journey to the ends of the earth in search of success,” 19th-century Baptist preacher Russell Conwell is said to have ...

A group of researchers have build the world's largest simulation of the universe, containing around 25 billion virtual galaxies. The simulation could help in the search for mysterious dark matter.

In this incredible video, scientists from the Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory reveal the largest computer simulation of the universe ever created.

The Frontier supercomputer's calculations provide a new foundation for simulating the universe's conventional physics, but also the enigmatic behaviors and properties of dark matter.

If recent measurements of cosmic ray particles are correct, then we may have the first evidence that the universe as we know it is really a giant computer simulation ...

Scientists made a twin version of our universe, showing the evolution of all forms of matter and energy, in the biggest cosmological computer simulation to date.

Discover the advanced simulation of the universe, Illustris, revealing cosmic phenomena and galaxy formation since the Big Bang.

A team of astronomers have developed a computer simulation called "Illustris," which took five years to program and, for the first time, can recreate the evolution of the Universe in high fidelity.

Illustris Collaboration The new Illustris simulation of the evolution of the universe shows how galaxies could have distributed in the cosmos after the universe began more than 13 billion years ago.
