Modeling Reality: Simulations from Home

You can predict the future without leaving your bedroom. It is called modeling and simulation,

and it is the ultimate cheat code for reality. Instead of crashing real cars or starting a real plague to

see what happens, you build a digital version in Python. You start simple, like coding a coin

toss or rolling dice to track probability. Then you get dangerous. You can simulate a rabbit population

exploding or create a digital ecosystem where predators hunt prey. You can even model

a zombie virus to see if humanity survives. It is the safest way to play god

with data.
