- Simulations back up theory that Universe is a hologram. A team of physicists has provided some of the clearest evidence yet that our Universe could be just one big projection. http://www.nature.com/news/simulations-back-up-theory-that-universe-is-a-hologram-1.14328 2245 comments science
- A new Method Simulates the Universe 1000 Times Faster. Previously, a 500 million light-year swath of the universe could take more than 3 weeks to simulate. Now, that 500 million light-year swath could then be simulated in 36 minutes. https://www.universetoday.com/151129/a-new-method-simulates-the-universe-1000-times-faster/ 46 comments space
- By creating a simulated universe, the authors of a study published in the journal Nature last week were able to reveal what could be clumps of dark matter that may surround galaxies https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2642-9?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter_axiosspace&stream=science 27 comments science
- Potential Beginning of Life Simulated in Lab. Scientists at the University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE) have substantiated their theory that life could have begun deep in the Earth's crust. In their experiments, structures that were inanimate developed survival strategies within a short time. https://www.uni-due.de/cenide/news_one_en.php/1394 10 comments science
- Computer simulations provide evidence that an insulating layer of gas hydrates could keep a subsurface ocean from freezing beneath Pluto's ice. A gassy insulating layer beneath the icy surfaces of distant celestial objects could mean there are more oceans in the universe than previously thought. https://www.global.hokudai.ac.jp/blog/gas-insulation-could-be-protecting-an-ocean-inside-pluto/ 3 comments science
- At Wageningen University's research lab, two small earthworms were recently born from a colony living in soil created by NASA to simulate the dirt found on Mars - Scientists hope that common earthworms could one day be used to help humans grow crops on the red planet https://news.nationalgeographic.com/2017/11/mars-soil-earthworm-agriculture-science-spd/ 9 comments science
- The Simulation Hypothesis - "Are we living in a virtual reality? Is the universe emerging from an information processing system? And if so, could we ever tell? Is it possible to 'hack' the system and change reality? Take a look at the evidence and decide for yourself." http://www.dignified.ml/2017/10/the-simulation-hypothesis.html 10 comments philosophy
- If an infinitely powerful computer had a complete snapshot of the universe, by which I mean every possible datum about every bit of matter or energy, could a perfect simulation accurately predict the future, or is there some intrinsic randomness in the system? https://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/6pv2nm/if_an_infinitely_powerful_computer_had_a_complete/ 28 comments askscience
