A team of international physicists has delivered a striking challenge to one of the most provocative ideas in modern science: ...

For years, the idea that reality might be a sophisticated computer program has drifted from late-night dorm debates into ...

Scientists made a twin version of our universe, showing the evolution of all forms of matter and energy, in the biggest cosmological computer simulation to date. When you purchase through links on our ...

Novel computational methods have helped create the most information-packed universe-scale simulation ever produced. The new tool provides fresh insights into how black holes influence the distribution ...

The formation of galaxies is a complex dance between matter and energy, occurring on a stage of cosmic proportions and spanning billions of years. How the diversity of structured and dynamic galaxies ...

It’s the most complete simulation of the universe that humanity has ever built. It stretches a billion light-years across. It’s populated by nearly 2 million galaxies, and 10,000,000,000,000,000 stars ...

A cosmological simulation study by researchers from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has systematically revealed, for the first time, how the interaction ...

An international collaboration of astronomers has created the most detailed simulation yet of the early stages of the universe. The simulation can be seen in the video below, showing the first light ...
