Gravity used to be the most down-to-earth of ideas, the thing that kept apples falling and planets in line. Now a growing ...

FLAMINGO simulation maps the universe but reveals a puzzling mismatch: galaxies cluster less than theory predicts.

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

Black holes are among the most extreme objects in the universe, and now scientists can model them more accurately than ever ...

The first black holes in the universe had dramatic effects on their surroundings despite the fact that they were small and grew very slowly, according to recent supercomputer simulations carried out ...

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 ...

Scientists prove the universe cannot be a simulation regardless of technology or computing power Quantum gravity theory shows space and time arise from mathematical structures of pure information ...

Meanwhile, Elon Musk also further replied to his own tweet, adding: “My pool parties per year number is ~0.3, which is probably too low.” Notably, in an article published on May 23, 2025, Popular ...

Researchers have mathematically proven that the universe cannot be a computer simulation. Reality, they argue, is rooted in a “non-algorithmic understanding” that no algorithm could ever replicate.

A question that has vexed physicists for the past century may finally have a solution – but perhaps not the one everyone was hoping for. In a new, detailed breakdown of current theory, a team of ...
