Computer Sim Shows Cosmic Evolution Over Billions and Billions of Years

2014-05-08 23:54:36| TechNewsWorld

Scientists have created a computer simulation that not only models the evolution of the universe down to the formation of individual galaxies, but also matches astronomical observations. Unlike earlier efforts, the simulation depicts ordinary matter in the form of hydrogen gas from the start. The Illustris project models a cubic section of the universe measuring 106.5 megaparsecs on each side.
