The simulation hypothesis is fun to talk about, but believing it requires an act of faith.

We may be on the brink of finally seeing human-level intelligence in an AI — thanks to robots.
HaptX gloves provide high-fidelity touch feedback of virtual spaces (and they look cool, too).
These high-mass, rapidly star-forming galaxies have called modern cosmology into question. But hi-res simulations show no tension at all.
It is little more than a fancy excuse for escapist fantasizing.
With so many early galaxies of unexpectedly large brightnesses, JWST surprised us all. Here's how scientists made sense of what we see.
The science fiction dream of a traversable wormhole is no closer to reality, despite a quantum computer's suggestive simulation.
Your life’s memories could, in principle, be stored in the universe’s structure.
Frontier, the ORNL supercomputer, used machine learning to perform 9.95 quintillion calculations per second.
Our minds seem both physical and intangible. That paradox has gripped this neuroscientist since childhood.
Galaxies don't simply feed their central supermassive black holes, but the activity generated inside affects the entire galaxy and more.
Uploading your mind is not a pathway to immortality. Instead, it will create a possibly hostile digital doppelgänger.
"The surface is no longer a record of every impact the moon has ever had, because at some point, impacts were erasing previous impacts."
The simulation gave researchers some of the first concrete data linking climate change to human evolution and speciation.
Well-preserved ancient plants and other finds at the Clarkia fossil beds hint at what kind of evidence any Martian life may have left behind.
Experimental neuroscientist Patrick McNamara on how we can harness spiritual experiences to explore alternate realities in our minds, and transform our models of the self.

The time to begin exploring VR training is now. Here are the pros, cons, and different ways this technology can be utilized.
Chemical changes inside Mars' core caused it to lose its magnetic field. This, in turn, caused it to lose its oceans. But how?
Time to rewrite our understanding of structural engineering.
There are at least 15 different types of solid water (ice). Now, scientists believe that there might be a second type of liquid water.
Can quantum computers do things that standard, classical computers can't? No. But if they can calculate faster, that's quantum supremacy.
Immersive learning creates an interactive environment in which learners have the power to customize their experience.
Brands like BMW, Walmart, and IBM are seeing big wins from the use of gamification in corporate training. Here's how.
Can two planets stably share the same orbit? Conventional wisdom says no, but a look at Saturn's moons might tell a different story.
Instead of giving the 239 suffering families and the public a true story, Netflix exploited a horrifying tragedy to push conspiracy theories.
Nuclear fusion has long been seen as the future of energy. As the NIF now passes the breakeven point, how close are we to our ultimate goal?
Symmetrical objects are less complex than non-symmetrical ones. Perhaps evolution acts as an algorithm with a bias toward simplicity.
