In virtual reality, this limit would correspond to the speed limit of the processor or the processing power limit. We know that an overloaded processor slows down computer processing in a simulation.

Googling the term “ simulation hypothesis ” returns numerous results that debate whether the universe is a computer simulation —a concept that some scientists actually take seriously.

AI expert Dr Roman Yampolskiy explained on Diary of a CEO podcast with Steven Bartlett the reason why he's 'almost certain' ...

Or is it a complex computer simulation indistinguishable from “real” reality? Don’t worry, it’s just a glitch in the Matrix. It happens when they change something.

Instead, a computer simulation performs calculations on a “lattice” — a set of points, all very close together, to approximate laws that actually operate at infinitesimally short distances.

There’s a 50 percent chance we’re living in a simulation, according to a 2003 landmark paper. Since then, scientists have been pondering the possibilities.

If you’re interested in VR, you’ve probably thought at least once or twice about the simulation hypothesis—the idea that we might actually already be living in a virtual reality world. Many ...

Swedish Philosopher Nick Bostrom’s simulation argument says we might be living in a computer-generated reality. Maybe he’s right. There currently exists no known method by which we could ...

Building his latest documentary around impossibly big questions, a cheeky ‘90s cyber aesthetic and the words of visionary author Philip K. Dick, director Rodney Ascher explores the labyrinthine ...

Seated in a tan leather couch, Petty Officer Sarax suddenly straightens his back and begins flailing his right arm. “She doesn’t know what I’ve been through,” Sarax, who just returned from Iraq, says ...
