Archaeologists in Poland uncovered two massive tombs hidden within megalithic structures often referred to as “Polish ...

Physicists have spent decades arguing over whether our universe is a fundamental reality or a kind of cosmic software, and ...

A new research paper reframes the simulation hypothesis, asking whether reality could be simulated and what science can test.

Ultracold atoms have successfully mimicked a fundamental quantum effect normally found in electronic circuits.

Could we be trapped inside a simulated reality, rather than the physical universe we usually assume? It’s a tantalizing theory, long theorized by philosophers and popularized by the 1999 blockbuster ...

Physicists have long struggled to explain why the universe started with conditions suitable for life to evolve. Why do the physical laws and constants take the very specific values that allow stars, ...

A virtual laboratory under development at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro aims to let students experiment with physics concepts without physically being in a lab. Computer simulations ...
