The quest for true randomness has roots in cryptography and is a rabbit hole that gets surprisingly deep with alarmingly ...

Random graph theory provides a probabilistic framework for modelling and analysing networks in which connections between entities are assigned according to specified random processes. From its origins ...

New research from UBC Okanagan mathematically demonstrates that the universe cannot be simulated. Using Gödel’s incompleteness theorem, scientists found that reality requires “non-algorithmic ...

The goal is to learn the network characteristics and disease dynamics of the pandemic occurred in Sweden during 2009, commonly known as swine flu. As a secondary goal, we develop an algorithm to ...

The simulation hypothesis—the idea that our universe might be an artificial construct running on some advanced alien computer—has long captured the public imagination. Yet most arguments about it rest ...

Eeny, meeny, miny, mo, catch a tiger by the toe – so the rhyme goes. But even children know that counting-out rhymes like this are no help at making a truly random choice. Perhaps you remember when ...
