Post-human intelligence will develop hypercomputers with the processing power to simulate living things - even entire worlds. Perhaps advanced beings could use hypercomputers to surpass the best 'special effects' in movies or computer games so vastly that they could simulate a world, fully, as complex as the one we perceive ourselves to be in.

Peggy Whitson

Life in zero gravity is hard to simulate. We practice on the ground what we call 'the day in the life' simulations, but it's just practicing some of the tests. It can't prepare you for the fact that all of your tools float if you don't pay attention to where they are! If you don't Velcro things down, they're gonna float away.

The most important application of quantum computing in the future is likely to be a computer simulation of quantum systems, because that's an application where we know for sure that quantum systems in general cannot be efficiently simulated on a classical computer.

Scientist

David Hanson

If we're going to achieve compassion in the machines and also feel safe with the machines, to raise machines with human-like values, we need to make them human-like by simulating, or perhaps eventually imitating, human beings in high accuracy from top to bottom.

I can be fascinated with very little things. The clouds stimulate my imagination, and sometimes I just sit somewhere and go on dreaming for a long time. Your head is also a computer. When you're dreaming, you are simulating a world in which you are living.

Dutch Artist

Stephen LaBerge

I'd say that we dream primarily the same way that we have consciousness of the world for the same reason. Basically, that our brains evolve to simulate reality and to control what's happening around us.

Shorter daylight hours can affect sleep, productivity and state of mind. Light therapy, also known as phototherapy, may help. It uses light boxes emitting full-spectrum light to simulate sunlight.

American Scientist

Margaret Wertheim

Computers are very powerful tools, but in the simulated world of the computer, everything has to be calculated.

Australian Writer

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

There is no disguise which can hide love for long where it exists, or simulate it where it does not.

French Writer

Jase Robertson

If people want to simulate a godly lifestyle - great. If they don't - good luck with that.

Use 'simulate' when discussing creating conditions to study something scientifically.

Study Tool

'Simulate' often refers to experimenting with models to test theories before real-world application.

Testing Hypotheses

'Simulate' can describe someone faking an action or feeling, usually for personal gain.

Feigning Behavior

In some contexts, 'simulate' implies dishonesty or staging something unreal.

Deceptive Actions

'Simulate' is commonly used to describe creating digital versions of real-world events or actions.

Virtual Reality

In computing, 'simulate' often involves learning tools that help understand how something works.

Educational Purpose

Medical students 'simulate' situations to practice without the risk of harming a real patient.

Practice Scenarios

'Simulate' conveys a sense of safety in training environments, implying no real harm.

Risk-Free Training

In gaming, 'simulate' suggests an immersive experience that replicates real-life activities.

Immersive Gaming

The concept of 'simulating' in games refers to making a virtual environment feel lifelike.

Realism Appeal

 If space and time are continuous, then even a tiny piece of the universe has infinite points and becomes impossible to simulate with finite computing power. So a simulation would have to represent space and time in very small pieces. These would be almost incomprehensibly tiny. But we might be able to search for them

 the imaging algorithms I develop use our limited telescope data to guide us to a picture that also looks like stuff in our universe. Using these algorithms, we're able to piece together pictures from this sparse, noisy data. So here I show a sample reconstruction done using simulated data,

 and that includes encouraging them to wee and poop. In the wild, they can't do this on their own, so mum helps by licking their behind. Tapping Ling Hwa's back end is the next best option and simulates what panda mums do with their tongue to encourage going to the toilet.

 where we'd simulate what needed to be done. We hardly did anything, and so now here we have a respiratory virus that is, sadly, fulfilling some of the more negative predictions I made. Last month, you said that this might be the big one.

 in which scientists have developed a machine that would simulate real life while guaranteeing experiences of only pleasure and never pain. The catch? You have to permanently leave reality behind, but you'll hardly know the difference.
