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.

In the beginning, someone booted up a computer. Everything we see around us reflects states of that computer. We are artificial intelligences living in an artificial reality — a “simulation.” ...

Another curiosity in physics supporting the simulation hypothesis is the maximum speed limit in our universe, which is the speed of light. In a virtual reality, this limit would correspond to the ...

Physicist Melvin Vopson offered a new interpretation of gravity, arguing that it could be evidence that reality is a computer simulation.

The simulation hypothesis suggests our universe could be a digital creation, not a physical “base” reality. Philosopher Nick Bostrom, in his 2003 paper Are You Living in a Computer Simulation ...

Simulation theory is the "theoretical hypothesis" that what we perceive as reality "is actually an advanced, hyper-realistic computer simulation, possibly overseen by a higher being", said tech ...

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.

If we live in a simulation run by an advanced computer, does that mean we can hack it? Here's what one scientist says.

The hypothesis that you are just a computer simulation is far less plausible than that you operate in reality via your senses.

Dr. David Peterson argues that if we are indeed living in a computer simulation of reality, we can probably hack it — by submitting feature requests.

For all we know we are, in fact, in a vast computer simulation. Here’s a version of the simulation argument that I am fond of.

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 ...
