This video demonstrates how to model rigid objects using springs in a Python physics simulation. We explore how spring forces approximate rigidity, analyze motion and stability, and visualize the ...

The earliest acoustic vibrations in the cosmos weren’t exactly sound – they travelled at half the speed of light and there ...

The simulation hypothesis—the idea that our universe might be an artificial construct running on some advanced alien computer—has long captured the public imagination. Yet most arguments about it rest ...

Thomas Anderson – otherwise known as Neo – is walking up a flight of stairs when he sees a black cat shake itself and walk past a doorway. Then the moment seems to replay before his eyes. Just a touch ...

Stephen DiKerby receives funding from the National Science Foundation. Whether the universe will “end” at all is not certain, but all evidence suggests it will continue being humanity’s cosmic home ...

Is the universe infinite? It's one of the most profound questions we can ask, and here's the short answer: We don't know. While we have learned a great deal about the universe, a portion of the cosmos ...

DOE researchers are recognized for simulations on the Frontier supercomputer that capture the interactions between gravity and gas spanning 15 billion light-years of cosmic space Last fall, as the ...

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 ...

Scientists have long held that the universe is expanding at an ever-increasing rate, driven by a mysterious but measurable force known as dark energy. Now, a new study might upend that idea, ...

The idea that we’re living inside a simulation, as popularized by “The Matrix” franchise, has piqued the interest of scientists for decades. In 2003, philosopher Nick Bostrom proposed in a highly ...

The true nature of our universe as been an open debate for millennia, and recently, scientists and philosophers have pondered whether it might be a hyper-realistic simulation perpetuated by some super ...
