Theory and understanding underpin a great deal of experimentation and engineering. Working together experimentalists can be guided by theoretical predictions and theoreticians can refine their models ...

Simulation theory proposes that our reality is a sophisticated computer simulation, raising profound questions about the nature of consciousness and existence. Simulation theory is a fascinating ...

Conspiracy theories are nothing new on TikTok, and another one of them has gone viral, offering alleged proof we are all living in a simulated universe created and controlled by some unknown power we ...

Few scientific ideas have leapt from philosophy seminars to dinner-table debates as quickly as the claim that our universe might be an artificial construct. The simulation hypothesis promises a ...

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 ...

This series of Playable Futures articles considers how the design, technology, people, and theory of video games are informing and influencing the wider world. For this series' final entry, we're ...

Some brief theory and typical measurements of phase noise. Standard analysis of PLL phase noise used by most CAD applications. How to produce the lowest phase noise at a PLL output. A standard design ...

Theoretical and simulation estimates of turbulent transport (high-dimensional data that depend on plasma conditions such as density, temperature, and magnetic field) are used as low-fidelity data, and ...

In recent years, there has been a paradigm shift in plasma physics research. In the past, large magnetic fusion experiments have made considerable progress, with theory often being subordinate and ...

One way to study ontology is to assess how people differentiate real activities from others, and a good case is how groups organize simulation. However, social scientists have tended to discuss ...
