A study from UBC Okanagan proves that the universe cannot be a computer simulation because its fundamental nature involves non-algorithmic understanding, which cannot be replicated by any computational process, thus providing a scientific refutation of the simulation hypothesis.
Researchers from UBC Okanagan have developed a system using magnetic levitation to detect and identify airborne viruses. The system collects air samples, separates viruses from other particles, and identifies them. The technology could serve as an early-warning system in high-risk areas such as hospitals and airports, helping to prevent pandemics. It could also aid in tracking and tracing exposure to viruses in public settings. The team is now working towards commercializing the technology.
