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 ...

Scientists prove the universe cannot be a simulation regardless of technology or computing power Quantum gravity theory shows space and time arise from mathematical structures of pure information ...

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 ...

This study presents a method based on Archimedean and Gaussian copulas to simulate the occurrence of hydrological droughts. The droughts were characterized by theory of runs for four threshold levels ...

For multivariate distributions in the domain of attraction of a max-stable distribution, the tail copula and the stable tail dependence function are equivalent ways to capture the dependence in the ...

Nothing can fully prepare a new teacher for their first year in the classroom—especially when it comes to the difficult conversations they’ll inevitably have with students and parents. But two former ...

Copulas are multivariate distribution functions with uniform marginal distributions. In this paper, we study a class of copulas called radial copulas, which is derived from residual implications where ...
