Is Gravity The Code? New Theory Suggests The Universe Is A Giant Quantum Computer
A new study proposes that gravity might be a product of computational processes within the universe, suggesting that the cosmos could be operating like a giant quantum computer, and potentially living in a simulated reality.

Do We Live In A Simulated Reality Like In The 'Matrix'? UK Scientist Makes Bold Claim
He proposes that the universe's tendency to pull objects with mass towards the Earth's core is analogous to how computers optimise data, supporting the idea that our universe could be a simulated or computational construct.

Frontier Supercomputer Simulates Universe with Unmatched Complexity
The Frontier supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory has conducted the most detailed universe simulation to date. Using the Hardware/Hybrid Accelerated Cosmology Code (HACC) under the U.S. Department of Energy’s Exascale Computing Project, the model incorporates dark matter, gas, and plasma interactions. With speeds reaching 1.4 exaFLOPS, ...

Early Supernovas Could Have Created Water in the Universe, Paving the Way for Life 100 Million Years Post-Big Bang
A recent study suggests that supernova explosions, triggered by the death of early stars, could have created significant amounts of water just 100 million years after the Big Bang. Simulations of these early, massive stars show that their explosive deaths may have resulted in the formation of water molecules within the dense hydrogen and oxygen clo...

New Study Reveals How Leaves' Resilience to Raindrops Might Help in Agriculture and Renewable Energy
Research published in Physical Review Fluids reveals how raindrops interact with leaves, protecting plants from damage and opening avenues for technological innovations. The study, led by Professor Sunghwan Jung of Cornell University, examined the mechanics of drop-leaf interactions using high-speed imaging and a plastic beam to simulate plant beha...

World's 2nd Fastest Supercomputer Simulates Universe’s Largest Evolution Model
The Frontier supercomputer, the second fastest globally, has completed the most comprehensive universe simulation to date. Led by Argonne National Laboratory, the project used the HACC code to model cosmological hydrodynamics. By incorporating factors beyond gravity, like gas dynamics and star formation, the simulation provides a detailed understan...

James Webb Space Telescope Reveals That Supermassive Black Holes Might Have Been Created Right After Big Bang
The James Webb Space Telescope has detected massive black holes from the early universe, just millions of years post-Big Bang. A new hypothesis suggests they could have formed from primordial “seeds” during the chaotic initial moments of the universe, bypassing the need for stellar collapse. This idea challenges traditional theories and may res...

Taiwan Students Design Drones For Mock Battle, As China Threat Looms
At a drone testing field in southwestern Taiwan, university students watch anxiously as unmanned aerial vehicles they designed take off, land and, occasionally, crash in a simulated battlefield scenario.

Asteroid Apophis Could Experience Surface Changes Due to Earth’s Gravity During 2029 Flyby
The asteroid Apophis, named after the ancient Egyptian god of chaos, is set to pass extremely close to Earth in 2029, potentially causing seismic activity and landslides on its surface due to Earth's gravity. These changes could alter Apophis’ surface, providing a rare opportunity to observe asteroid dynamics in real-time. A team from Johns Hopki...

Bristol's System Could Revolutionise Lunar Exploration with Remote Rover Control
The University of Bristol has developed a teleoperation system enabling remote control of lunar rovers, potentially revolutionising how lunar missions are conducted. The system bypasses signal delays, enabling precise sample collection and assembly tasks. Haptic feedback simulates lunar conditions, giving operators a realistic sense of touch when p...

Mayonnaise Plays Unexpected Role in Understanding Nuclear Fusion Dynamics
Researchers at Lehigh University are investigating how mayonnaise can aid in understanding material behaviours during nuclear fusion experiments. By simulating the conditions in which fuel capsules melt and transition from elastic to plastic states, they hope to gain insights that can improve fusion reactions.

Milky Way and Andromedia Fated Collision Might Not Happen, Reveals New Study
Recent research has cast doubt on the certainty of the Milky Way-Andromeda galaxy collision, suggesting the event may not be as inevitable as once thought. Traditionally, astronomers have predicted that our galaxy would merge with Andromeda within the next 5 billion years, creating a new elliptical galaxy often referred to as "Milkomeda." However, ...
