The idea that reality might be a kind of cosmic software has moved from late night dorm debates into serious physics journals, and now dueling teams of researchers are claiming they finally have the ...

Scientists are sending millions of questions to AI weekly, speeding up research in physics, chemistry, and biology ...

The simulation hypothesis is an impressive logical and philosophical argument that has challenged our fundamental notions of reality.

What would it take to turn the entire cosmos into software-down to the rules that generate space and time? For decades, the simulation hypothesis has resided comfortably in the gap between philosophy ...

There’s no shortage of ways to use PhET simulations in (or out of) the classroom. Effectively, any time you’d use a static PowerPoint slide or textbook image to demonstrate a concept, it’s worth ...
