VIRTUAL UNIVERSE In a snapshot from the Illustris computer simulation of the universe, galaxies (pink) cluster along filaments of dark matter (blue). Shown is the most massive cluster in the ...

The computer simulation can recreate 13 billion years of cosmic evolution in a cube that is about 350 million light years on each side.

The Bolshoi Simulation is a massive, incredibly detailed model of everything, providing a comprehensive simulation of the universe’s 14 billion year history. Scientists are now exploring the ...

A team of astronomers have developed a computer simulation called "Illustris," which took five years to program and, for the first time, can recreate the evolution of the Universe in high fidelity.

Astronomers have performed the first-ever computer model simulation of the structuring of the entire observable universe, from the Big Bang to the present day. The simulation has made it possible ...

A new simulation showing the evolution of the universe traces the formation of the cosmic web of galaxies scientists see today. The simulation - called Illustris - covers about 13 billion years of ...

But assuming the universe is finite, the team argues that since the resources of potential simulators would have to be finite, “a volume containing a simulation will be finite and a lattice ...
