Elon Musk and others find it plausible that our experiences result from events in a computer simulation, just like the characters in the Matrix movies. An alternative view, supported by both common ...

USING COMPUTER simulation to evaluate the performance of wet scrubbers has saved Babcock & Wilcox (B&W) up to $70,000 and four weeks of work. Because the design of wet scrubbers depends upon the fuel ...

I was invited by the American Humanist Association to present the arguments of my paper “Natural Evil and the Simulation Hypothesis” at the national conference this past weekend. It was fun: I met a ...
