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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Despite how it may feel some days, we probably aren’t stuck in a ...

If such a simulation were possible, the simulated universe could itself give rise to life, which in turn might create its own simulation. This recursive possibility makes it seem highly unlikely that ...

Hi, I'm currently working on two FDTD simulators, aiming to compare them. One is gprMax, and the other one is Meep. I set up the same simulations in both, meaning the same durations, same resolutions, ...

Is this real life? Is this just fantasy? A growing number of scientists are suggesting that the idea that we are all living in a simulation may not be completely far-fetched. Simulation theory is the ...

If I add the following line to a working simulation but do not define a primitive then I get a Segemtation fault. sheet = csx.AddConductingSheet('Carbon_fiber', conductivity=2, thickness=1e-3) Its a ...

ABSTRACT: We implemented a two-step Asymmetric Perfectly Matched Layer (APML) model in High-Order Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) algorithm for solving two-dimensional Maxwell’s equations.

Abstract: This article presents a comparative analysis of the characterization of the shielding effectiveness of gaskets using either a tuned dipole antenna (IEEE Std. 299) or a log-periodic antenna ...
