If we were in a hyper-realistic simulation, à la The Matrix, would it be possible to escape? Computer scientist Roman Yampolskiy has outlined in a new paper how we might escape, and what that ...

In the case of the so-called simulation hypothesis, you could hardly ask for a neater demonstration.

A new simulation theory documentary, A Glitch in the Matrix, is now out in theaters and on demand.

In her new book Existential Physics, she argues that some of her colleagues may have gotten a little too excited about wild ideas like multiverse theory or the simulation hypothesis.

In an unpublished paper, circa 2018, titled The P2P Simulation Hypothesis and Meta-Problem of Everything, University of Tampa philosopher Marcus Arvan argues that many of the most confounding ...
