A new research paper reframes the simulation hypothesis, asking whether reality could be simulated and what science can test.

"It has been suggested that the universe could be simulated. If such a simulation were possible, the simulated universe could itself give rise to life, which in turn might create its own simulation.

Dr. Vopson argues that we’re living in a simulation because the mathematics behind how the universe functions doesn’t match ...
