Our understanding of cosmology hinges on how well we know our own local universe, which remains poorly mapped and poorly ...

Of some help could be a new computer simulation that traces how all elements of the universe — ordinary matter, dark matter and dark energy — evolve according to the laws of physics.

You can journey to the ends of the earth in search of success,” 19th-century Baptist preacher Russell Conwell is said to have ...

In this incredible video, scientists from the Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory reveal the largest computer simulation of the universe ever created.

The Frontier supercomputer's calculations provide a new foundation for simulating the universe's conventional physics, but also the enigmatic behaviors and properties of dark matter.

To recreate the cosmos on a computer, we first need to know what it’s made of. Davé sets the scene by clearly explaining the so-called “concordance model”, which tells us that the universe is 68% dark ...

If recent measurements of cosmic ray particles are correct, then we may have the first evidence that the universe as we know it is really a giant computer simulation ...

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 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.

Googling the term “ simulation hypothesis ” returns numerous results that debate whether the universe is a computer simulation —a concept that some scientists actually take seriously.

Illustris Collaboration The new Illustris simulation of the evolution of the universe shows how galaxies could have distributed in the cosmos after the universe began more than 13 billion years ago.
