Now, in a new paper published in the journal AIP Advances , he suggests that gravity isn't actually a force at all, but the result of yet another computational process within a simulated universe— something that happens when the universe tries to stay organized.

Scientist’s theory points to possible clue Degree of recognition International Media name/outlet New York Post Media type Web Country/Territory United States Date 28/04/25 Description Dr. Melvin Vopson, an associate professor in physics at the University of Portsmouth in the UK, believes that gravity is a sign that we are living in a virtual simulation and the universe is the “ultimate computer,” he alleged in a new paper.
In the research, published in AIP Advances, Vopson proposes the idea that gravity isn’t just a “pull” — it’s actually something that occurs when the universe is trying to keep its data organized.Producer/Author Brooke Steinberg URL https://nypost.com/2025/04/28/science/is-this-proof-were-living-in-a-simulated-universe-scientists-theory-points-to-possible-clue/ Persons Melvin Vopson Title Is our universe the ultimate computer? Scientist uncovers a major clue that we're all living in a simulation Degree of recognition International Media name/outlet MailOnline Media type Web Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 28/04/25 Description For more than a quarter of a century since its release, 'The Matrix' has fuelled modern fears that life is not all it seems.
But according to a scientist, the classic movie's premise may not be completely science fiction.
