New research from UBC Okanagan mathematically demonstrates that the universe cannot be simulated. Using Gödel’s ...

Yet according to physics, information is never destroyed. In principle, a burned book is just as readable as the original—if ...

Deep in the heart of the matter, some numbers don't add up. For example, while protons and neutrons are made of quarks, ...

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 ...

Recent discoveries in cosmology have left scientists scratching their heads, as they challenge our fundamental understanding ...

No one knows for sure, but it is not unlikely that the universe is constructed in a completely different way than the usual theories and models of today predict. The most widely used model today ...
