A groundbreaking computational physics framework has demonstrated that the three-dimensional fabric of the universe can be generated from scratch using a simple algorithm with exactly zero free ...

We have known for several decades that the universe is expanding. Scientists use multiple techniques to measure the present-day expansion rate of the universe, known as the Hubble constant. These ...

For decades, philosophers and physicists alike have speculated that our entire existence might be nothing more than an advanced simulation. But new research from the University of British Columbia ...

New research from UBC Okanagan mathematically demonstrates that the universe cannot be simulated. Using Gödel’s incompleteness theorem, scientists found that reality requires “non-algorithmic ...

In the grand puzzle of the cosmos, one question continues to defy easy answers: how fast is the universe expanding? Astronomers have tried two main methods to figure it out, but their numbers don’t ...

An expanding universe complicates this picture just a little bit, because the universe absolutely refuses to be straightforward. Objects are still emitting light, and that light takes time to travel ...

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 ...
