Beyond the challenges of quantum effects and cosmology, research on general relativity is rich with possibilities for further exploration: mathematical relativists explore the nature of singularities and the fundamental properties of Einstein's equations, ever more comprehensive computer simulations of specific spacetimes ( such as those describing merging black holes ) are run, and the race for the first direct detection of gravitational waves continues apace.

* January 27 – Scientists behind the climateprediction. net project, a distributed computing project run from Oxford University, announce that first results indicate a long term surface temperature increase due to global warming of between 2 and 11 degrees Celsius as a consequence of doubling carbon dioxide levels, with most of the simulations predicting a temperature rise of around 3. 4 ° C.

Alan Kay and his colleagues in the Learning Research Group at Xerox Palo Alto Research Center propose the Dynabook as a book-sized computer to run dynamic simulations for learning.

If we were to run two simulations at temperatures separated by a ΔT, we would find that if ΔT is small enough, then the energy histograms obtained by collecting the values of the energies over a set of Monte Carlo steps N will create two distributions that will somewhat overlap.

Edward Epstein recognized in 1969 that the atmosphere could not be completely described with a single forecast run due to inherent uncertainty, and proposed using an ensemble of stochastic Monte Carlo simulations to produce means and variances for the state of the atmosphere.

Most simulations contain only non-baryonic cold dark matter, which should suffice to understand the universe on the largest scales, as there is much more dark matter in the universe than visible, baryonic matter.

In computer simulations of cultural communities, beliefs were found to polarize within isolated sub-groups, based on the mistaken belief of the community's unhindered access to ground truth.

Inorganic dust-based life has been speculated upon based on recent computer simulations.

Approximately one-third of all papers presented at the 2010 Evolution of Language conference rely at least in part on computer simulations.

Based on simulations, they estimated that about 50, 000 chunks ( units of memory ) are necessary to become an expert, and hence the many years needed to reach this level.

Herbert G. Winful argues that the train analogy is a variant of the " reshaping argument " for superluminal tunneling velocities, but he goes on to say that this argument is not actually supported by experiment or simulations, which actually show that the transmitted pulse has the same length and shape as the incident pulse.

Upon learning of the TTAPS scenarios, Vladimir Alexandrov and G. I. Stenchikov soon published a report on the climatic consequences of nuclear war based on simulations with a two-level global circulation model, which produced results consistent with the TTAPS findings.

In June 2010 Harold F. Levison and others suggested on the basis of enhanced computer simulations that the Sun " captured comets from other stars while it was in its birth cluster.

Several software simulations of a PDP-8 are available on the Internet.

Still, in 1933, a series of articles on the discovery of elements quoted the name masurium for element 43 .< ref group = note > In 1998 John T. Armstrong of the National Institute of Standards and Technology ran " computer simulations " of the 1925 experiments and obtained results quite close to those reported by the Noddack team.

Most current virtual reality environments are primarily visual experiences, displayed either on a computer screen or through special stereoscopic displays, but some simulations include additional sensory information, such as sound through speakers or headphones.

* Plot of The Thirteenth Floor ( 1999 ) is based on two virtual reality simulations, one in another.

Such simulations are typically based on stochastic asset models.

In many fields, much research work of that period which relied on random selection or on Monte Carlo style simulations, or in other ways, is less reliable than it might have been as a result.

For example, one plot thread involves moving a sofa which is irreversibly stuck on the staircase to Richard's apartment ; according to his simulations, not only is it impossible to remove it, but there is no way for it to have got into that position in the first place.

Estimates based on computer simulations of such an event suggest that some twenty percent of the original mass of Theia would have ended up as an orbiting ring of debris, and about half of this matter coalesced into the Moon.

According to research on the subject that based on new simulations at the ETH Zürich by physicist Andreas Reufer and his colleagues, Theia collided directly with Earth instead of barely swiping it.

One of his tasks was developing and running computer simulations on Digital machines.

Abstract games cannot be completely divided from simulations and so games can be thought of as existing on a continuum of almost pure abstraction ( like Abalone ) to almost pure simulation ( like Strat-o-Matic Baseball ).

From the estimates from simulations produced in the project's first year, however, it looked as if the processor being designed for this project could be a very promising general-purpose processor, so work continued at Thomas J. Watson Research Center building # 801, on the 801 project.

Typical flows contain billions of particles, but contemporary DEM simulations on large cluster computing resources have only recently been able to approach this scale for sufficiently long time ( simulated time, not actual program execution time ).
