CU Boulder’s PhET Interactive Simulations are providing critical support to teachers, students and parents during the COVID-19 pandemic As schools adapt to the new normal of teaching remotely, ...
Is your life really your life, or is it actually the dream of a butterfly? Or is it a complex computer simulation indistinguishable from “real” reality? Don’t worry, it’s just a glitch in the Matrix.
There’s no shortage of ways to use PhET simulations in (or out of) the classroom. Effectively, any time you’d use a static PowerPoint slide or textbook image to demonstrate a concept, it’s worth ...

Mathematics vs the Matrix: Why “simulation” hits a logic wall

What would it take to turn the entire cosmos into software-down to the rules that generate space and time? For decades, the simulation hypothesis has resided comfortably in the gap between philosophy ...
A breakthrough by UC Davis mathematicians could help scientists get three or four times the performance from supercomputers used to model protein folding, turbulence and other complex atomic-scale ...
Earthquakes happen daily, sometimes with devastating consequences, yet predicting them remains out of reach. What scientists ...
