Nothing sinks a golfer’s spirits like their ball zinging back out of the hole. Now, physics and mathematics explain how it happens. The anguish of a “lip out” occurs when a golfer putts a ball, and ...

Researchers have mathematically proven that the universe cannot be a computer simulation. Reality, they argue, is rooted in a “non-algorithmic understanding” that no algorithm could ever replicate.

They prove something far more profound: the universe is built on a type of understanding that exists beyond the reach of any algorithm. "It has been suggested that the universe could be simulated. If ...

For the first time, physicists have simulated what objects moving near the speed of light would look like — an optical illusion called the Terrell-Penrose effect. When you purchase through links on ...
