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 ...

Science doesn’t have all the answers. There are plenty of things it may never prove, like whether there’s a God. Or whether we’re living in a computer simulation, something proposed by Swedish ...

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 ...

A prominent computer scientist and MIT professor believes there's a very good chance we're all living in a computer simulation. The idea of humans living in a simulated reality controlled by robotic ...

Some experts think we are living in a computer simulation and that our reality is instead like a video game. But could we ever know for sure? If you’ve seen the movie The Matrix, you’re familiar with ...

The exploitation of quantum weirdness for computing is one of the great goals of modern physics. It’s promise is dramatic for a wide range of number-crunching tasks. But quantum computers have another ...
