Recent studies about the structure of the universe revealed that there are even more massive structures than clusters and superclusters of galaxies. Apparently, galaxy clusters and superclusters are structured in forms that resemble filaments, as in a massive web. This movie shows one of the most powerful super-computer simulations of these structures, done by the Virgo Consortium.
These kind of simulations consist basically of the following:
1. “Grab” a virtual box of a few billion cubic light years.
2. Put in there some billion of primordial “particles” (dust, dark matter, etc.)
3. Program a computer with all the physical laws we know.
4. Run the simulation and compare the results with actual data.
Every yellow dot you see here is an entire galaxy!
The yellow color represent normal matter, while the purple halos represent dark matter.
This is how a “slice” of universe evolved from the primordial roughness in the time of the microwave background radiation. The universe expansion is visually “normalized” in this sequence. From another simulation. The final state of these simulations matches extremely well the data obtained with galaxy surveys, thus supporting the current “standard model” of cosmology (The Lambda-Cold Dark Matter Model).
Do you want to navigate through the universe at this scale?
