Re-establishing the universe on a computer

According to the Guardian newspaper, the study led by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is the most detailed, the most complex universe model ever. The team used supercomputers to complete calculations within six months. A typical computer takes 2,000 years to accomplish this process.

The space simulation is based on physical and theoretical principles of the formation of galaxies and stars to recreate the universe 12 million years after the big bang to this day, more than 13 billion years later. In the beginning, the mysterious material with dark matter spread through empty space.

After millions of years, dark matter began to gather to 'seed' the first galaxies. After that, ordinary matter appears, creating stars, planets, and life. BBC quoted Dr. Mark Vogelsberger of MIT as saying that the simulation version confirms the correctness of many theories about cosmology.

The team compared this cosmic model to the Hubble telescope's real-world images and discovered many similarities.'Many galaxies in the computerized version of the universe have similar characteristics to real galaxies. It helps us understand how the universe works, 'said Dr. Vogelsberger.

According to him, it is important that this simulated universe shows the vital role of dark matter."If you don't put dark matter into the simulated universe, it's not like the real universe," Dr. Vogelsberger said. International experts assessing this simulated universe will help scientists understand more about dark energy affecting the expansion of the universe.

In 2020, the European Space Agency (ESA) will launch the Euclid spacecraft to orbit to measure the rate of expansion of the universe.
