A physicist has mounted one of the most detailed technical challenges yet against the idea that our universe is a computer simulation, arguing that the energy required to run such a program would ...

This visualization shows moderately large pressure fluctuations within a 35-trillion-grid-point turbulence simulation, ...

The universe is full of fascinating physics that have been experimentally confirmed but are still far from fully explained. In an unpublished paper, circa 2018, titled The P2P Simulation Hypothesis ...

Researchers at University of Jyväskylä (Finland) advance understanding of gold nanocluster behavior at elevated temperatures ...

Geometric optics is a confusing subject for many physics students, who often first encounter the subject in introductory college physics classes. Traditional instruction in geometric optics is not as ...

Dive deep into Python Physics Lesson 33 and uncover how magnetism affects moving charges! This tutorial explains magnetic forces, the Lorentz force, and the interaction of charged particles with ...

Abby Ledford worked on a fluid dynamics research project under the supervision of Dr. Patrick Bunton, head of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at UNG. Amanda Ash and Jessica Hamilton presented ...

For generations “theory” and “experiment” were the twin drivers of scientific research. In the past few years, however, a new tool has come into its own: simulation. Computer simulations have ...

If you’re interested in VR, you’ve probably thought at least once or twice about the simulation hypothesis—the idea that we might actually already be living in a virtual reality world. Many people are ...
