Mathematics vs the Matrix: Why “simulation” hits a logic wall

What would it take to turn the entire cosmos into software-down to the rules that generate space and time? For decades, the simulation hypothesis has resided comfortably in the gap between philosophy ...
The idea that we might be living inside a vast computer simulation, much like in The Matrix, has fascinated philosophers and scientists for years. But a new study from researchers at the University of ...
Matrices is an important topic that has applications in other subjects like physics and computer science as well. Matrices along with the succeeding chapter Determinants often trouble students in ...
A recent paper set the fastest record for multiplying two matrices. But it also marks the end of the line for a method researchers have relied on for decades to make improvements. For computer ...
I know to find if a set of vectors are linearly indepenent I have to put them in a matrix and get the rref. if the rref == the identity matrix, then the vectors are linearl independent. but why? can ...
