Thomas Anderson – otherwise known as Neo – is walking up a flight of stairs when he sees a black cat shake itself and walk past a doorway. Then the moment seems to replay before his eyes. Just a touch ...

Creating a virtual brain may sound like a science-fiction nightmare, but for neuroscientists in Japan and at Seattle’s Allen Institute, it’s a big step toward a long-held dream. They say their ...

New research from UBC Okanagan mathematically demonstrates that the universe cannot be simulated. Using Gödel’s incompleteness theorem, scientists found that reality requires “non-algorithmic ...

The idea that we’re living inside a simulation, as popularized by “The Matrix” franchise, has piqued the interest of scientists for decades. In 2003, philosopher Nick Bostrom proposed in a highly ...

If such a simulation were possible, the simulated universe could itself give rise to life, which in turn might create its own simulation. This recursive possibility makes it seem highly unlikely that ...

Zacharie Jehl Li-Kao, a researcher in the Department of Electronic Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC), has developed Soley, an open-access simulation software designed to ...

Researchers at Hebei University of Science and Technology in China and Riken Center for Advanced Photonics in Japan demonstrated a novel silver ion solution-assisted femtosecond laser process for ...

Weld-RE-4 School District will ban personal communication devices in elementary and middle schools as well as in high school classrooms starting this fall. Consequences for violating the policy vary ...

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 ...

Weld RE-4 School District will host virtual town halls on July 8 and 10 to discuss cell phone use policies. The town halls are in response to a new Colorado law requiring schools to implement cell ...
