Scientists at MIT have created a new simulation system that they invented to train autonomous autos with infinite steering possibilities. The goal of the simulation system is to help the autonomous ...

Spontaneously generating reality is a messy affair. Our Big Bang, for example, unleashed a universe’s worth of energy and matter in an instant, then flung it omnidirectionally away at the speed of ...

A prominent computer scientist and MIT professor believes there's a very good chance we're all living in a computer simulation. The idea of humans living in a simulated reality controlled by robotic ...

Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a groundbreaking simulation tool that can predict lightning strikes on modern aircraft and wind turbines. This innovative ...

That hypothesis, famously probed in the 1999 film The Matrix, is the subject of a new book by Rizwan Virk, a computer scientist and video game developer who leads Play Labs at the Massachusetts ...

Scientists at MIT managed to teach a robot to run using machine learning. Normally robots are taught how to move across difficult terrain by preprogramming it into their code. This time, though, the ...

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) created a simulation of the universe's origins. It focuses on a happening that may have happened in the early days of when it started. The simulation is ...

Anyone with a web connection now can engage in the marketplace maneuvering, pressure-packed decision making, and inevitable price wars that break out among business students at the Massachusetts ...

What if our world is just a simulation run by a more advanced civilization? That’s the question that guided Matt Damon’s commencement address at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology this morning.

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Are angels really AIs sent to monitor us on behalf of the programmers responsible for our creation? MIT computer scientist Rizwan Virk tackles these ...
