Computer Scientists ‘Prove’ God Exists
By David Knight Two scientists have formalized a theorem regarding the existence of God penned by mathematician Kurt Gödel. But the God angle is somewhat of a red herring — the real step forward is the example it sets of… Read More ›

Do we live in a computer simulation? UW researchers say idea can be tested
By Vince StricherzNews and Information A decade ago, a British philosopher put forth the notion that the universe we live in might in fact be a computer simulation run by our descendants. While that seems far-fetched, perhaps even incomprehensible, a… Read More ›
