New multidisciplinary research in nuclear and particle physics and cosmology has led to the development of a more accurate computer code to study the early universe.

Scientists are rethinking the universe’s deepest mysteries using numerical relativity, complex computer simulations of ...

'The universe evolves in a way that the information content in it is compressed, optimized and organized – just as computers and computer code do,' he told MailOnline.

Suppose the law of gravity is simply a byproduct of the universe operating under a computer-like code.

Computer simulations have become so accurate that cosmologists can now use them to study dark matter, supermassive black holes, and other mysteries of the real evolving cosmos.

This series shows the universe at the present time as modeled by the Millennium Simulation. Each panel zooms in 2 times to a cluster of galaxies. The scale difference between the first and last ...

But Wolfram believes that simple computer models can reveal complex patterns in nature. It's conceivable, for example, that a simple program could reveal how the universe works.

I have a theory that the oldest computer code is found in the program on which our simulated universe runs. Glitches caused by incompatible code lead to some unexplained events commented on in ...

But is this a viable approach? Is the universe the ultimate computer running some grand cosmic code? Join a discussion among the brightest minds in digital physics to explore math, computer ...
