Like pilots, some business executives are using computer simulations so their companies and organizations will be as prepared as possible to respond to a variety of crisis situations.

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 ...

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.

Pictures are the key to new insights in the field of astrophysics. Such images include simulations of cosmic events, which ...

In order for a computer to simulate reality, then, the machine would need to have enough power to actually create the phenomena that we experience within its simulated environment.

A simulation-driven approach called "PhysicsGen" from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and the Robotics and AI Institute customizes robot training data to help ...

EvolGenius is a two-locus population genetics simulation written for use in undergraduate courses. Often, we use simulations without really thinking about how they recreate a process. But ...

For example, nowadays, no space vehicle reaches the launching pad without millions of hours of computer simulations having already been run to investigate every plausible possibility and help ...

Unlike the real-world hypothesis, the simulation hypothesis assumes that there is a computer simulation that is generating your experiences. Who produced the computer simulation that you are ...

The simulation hypothesis, which was famously probed in the 1999 film The Matrix, is the subject of a new book by Rizwan Virk, a computer scientist and video game developer who leads Play Labs at ...

Human simulation in action is messier than modeling bridges, but it can be a useful way for researchers to understand just why people behave the way they do.

But research shows computer simulations of the heart have the potential to improve drug development for patients and reduce the need for animal testing.
