Is our world real, or are we just living inside a simulation? The simulation hypothesis suggests that everything we experience might just be an advanced computer program. Could our reality be nothing ...

In this week's It’s Debatable article, Rick Rosen and Charles Moster debate whether we're all living in a computer simulation like the Matrix. Rosen retired as a professor from the Texas Tech ...

"It has been suggested that the universe could be simulated. If such a simulation were possible, the simulated universe could itself give rise to life, which in turn might create its own simulation.

Unless you, dear reader, are a web-scraping software bot quietly pulling this text into a data-hungry LLM, you’re probably a human. And though you’ve likely never seen me in person, you have good ...

It’s rare that an interesting story starts with sitting in a Biology 1B class, but on some occasions, I suppose it happens. While I liked to complain about the lab assignments and midterms, Biology 1B ...

Building the “brain” that guides a self-driving car or other autonomous vehicle is challenging enough. Ensuring this digital pilot remains reliable when moving from clean computer simulations to the ...
