A scientific study disproves the idea that the universe is a computer simulation, proving reality cannot be reproduced by algorithms.

The long-debated idea that we might all be living in a computer simulation—popularized by science fiction films like The Matrix—has taken a major hit.

Up until now, the simulation hypothesis was deemed to be un-testable in philosophy and science and often dismissed as pure ...
