In virtual reality, this limit would correspond to the speed limit of the processor or the processing power limit. We know that an overloaded processor slows down computer processing in a simulation.

When we experience the world, we believe it’s an accurate reflection of reality. But what if it’s all an illusion? From the ...

Physicist Melvin Vopson offered a new interpretation of gravity, arguing that it could be evidence that reality is a computer simulation.

The technological bent to what's now called the simulation hypothesis was formalized in the paper "Are we living in a computer simulation?" by Nick Bostrom in 2003.

The hypothesis that you are just a computer simulation is far less plausible than that you operate in reality via your senses.

Simulation theory is the "theoretical hypothesis" that what we perceive as reality "is actually an advanced, hyper-realistic computer simulation, possibly overseen by a higher being", said tech ...

Presumably, simulations will eventually become sophisticated enough that we could re-create our entire experience of the Universe within a computer, with simulated conscious brains experiencing a ...

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.

If we live in a simulation run by an advanced computer, does that mean we can hack it? Here's what one scientist says.

In this week's It’s Debatable article, Rick Rosen and Charles Moster debate whether we're all living in a computer simulation like the Matrix. Rosen retired as a professor from the Texas Tech ...
