Somewhere between the galaxy clusters that dot the observable universe, enormous threads of hot, diffuse gas stretch across ...

New research from UBC Okanagan mathematically demonstrates that the universe cannot be simulated. Using Gödel’s incompleteness theorem, scientists found that reality requires “non-algorithmic ...

Mathematicians are challenging the idea that dark energy is responsible for the accelerating expansion of the universe. In a ...

An expanding universe complicates this picture just a little bit, because the universe absolutely refuses to be straightforward. Objects are still emitting light, and that light takes time to travel ...

Astronomers have released the biggest ever computer simulation of the universe that gives researchers a fresh way to test how the cosmos formed and evolved. The dataset, built by the FLAMINGO project, ...

Are we living in a simulation? Well, the jury's out on that one. But humans do create simulations all the time. In fact, the Euclid Consortium, the international group managing the European Space ...

After a century of observations spanning the breadth of the cosmos and theoretical insights that push humanity's vision of the universe to its utmost limits, we can finally, confidently say that the ...

It’s a plot device beloved by science fiction: our entire universe might be a simulation running on some advanced civilization’s supercomputer. But new research from UBC Okanagan has mathematically ...

Scientists know our universe is expanding. Now they have a better idea how fast. Cosmologists who study the universe know it began with the big bang and has been expanding from a single point ever ...
