In recent years, there has been a paradigm shift in plasma physics research. In the past, large magnetic fusion experiments have made considerable progress, with theory often being subordinate and ...

Scientists are on the trail of a mysterious five-particle structure that could challenge one of the biggest theories in physics: string theory. This rare particle—never seen before and predicted not ...

Physicist Mir Faizal, Adjunct Professor with UBC Okanagan’s Irving K. Barber Faculty of Science, was not out to shatter the dreams of science fiction enthusiasts when he began to study the limits of ...

What if the classic late 90s sci-fi flick The Matrix actually had it right? What if we're all just living inside of a computer simulation? That's the idea behind a 2003 paper by Nick Bostrom, a ...

What if everything we know about the world is just a simulation? This thought-provoking question has been at the center of the Simulation Theory, a concept that has become increasingly popular in ...
