The idea that reality might be a kind of cosmic software has moved from late night dorm debates into serious physics journals ...

Is your life really your life, or is it actually the dream of a butterfly? Or is it a complex computer simulation indistinguishable from “real” reality? Don’t worry, it’s just a glitch in the Matrix.

What would it take to turn the entire cosmos into software-down to the rules that generate space and time? For decades, the simulation hypothesis has resided comfortably in the gap between philosophy ...

A breakthrough by UC Davis mathematicians could help scientists get three or four times the performance from supercomputers used to model protein folding, turbulence and other complex atomic-scale ...

CU Boulder’s PhET Interactive Simulations are providing critical support to teachers, students and parents during the COVID-19 pandemic As schools adapt to the new normal of teaching remotely, ...

We consider stochastic mathematical programs with complementarity constraints in which both the objective and constraints involve limit functions that need to be approximated. Such programs can be ...

There’s no shortage of ways to use PhET simulations in (or out of) the classroom. Effectively, any time you’d use a static PowerPoint slide or textbook image to demonstrate a concept, it’s worth ...
