The notion that our universe might be a giant simulation has intrigued scientists and philosophers for decades. Recent ...

Computer simulations have become so accurate that cosmologists can now use them to study dark matter, supermassive black holes, and other mysteries of the real evolving cosmos.

If the universe is a giant computer simulation, here's how many bits would be required to run it News By Adam Mann published November 8, 2021 ...

A group of researchers have build the world's largest simulation of the universe, containing around 25 billion virtual galaxies. The simulation could help in the search for mysterious dark matter.

Chemistry in the first 50 million to 100 million years after the Big Bang may have been more active than we expected.

New computer simulations suggest the first magnetic fields that emerged after the Big Bang were much weaker than expected — ...

We’re probably not living in a computer simulation, despite some people’s insistence to the contrary. But that doesn’t mean we can’t create our own awe-inspiring simulations of the universe.

The largest and most accurate computer simulation of the universe has been created by scientists, showing the entire evolution of the cosmos since the Big Bang.

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 simulation is one of the most complicated computer models ever created and is a crucial means to test theories about the development of the universe.

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.
