A scientific study disproves the idea that the universe is a computer simulation, proving reality cannot be reproduced by algorithms.

The long-debated idea that we might all be living in a computer simulation—popularized by science fiction films like The Matrix—has taken a major hit.

Researchers have analyzed more than one million galaxies to explore primordial fluctuations that seeded the formation of the structure of the entire universe. A team of researchers has analyzed more ...

The study finds how large amplitude fluctuations generated on small scales can amplify large-scale fluctuations observed in the cosmic microwave background. Researchers at the Research Center for the ...

Finding the hypothetical particle axion could mean finding out for the first time what happened in the Universe a second after the Big Bang, suggests a new study published in Physical Review D on June ...

Einstein’s general theory of relativity has helped an international team of researchers measure the lumpiness of dark matter in our universe today by analyzing images of 10 million distant galaxies, ...
