| Are computer simulations theory, experiment, or something in between? Anne Dippel and Martin Warnke explore the epistemological status of computer simulations. By examining the erosion of concept-based truth in the digital age in combination with pathways of knowledge in physics, they offer a media ethnography of the famous quantum physics double-slit experiment and its simulation. Recognizing simulations as central to shaping reality and multiplying illusions, the authors propose â operational realismâ as epistemic composure in the digital era. The work raises ethical questions about algorithmic world design, offering humor, revelations, and insights into new ontologies of knowledge. |
