simulation of galaxy formation
« on: 30 August 2012, 19:20:57 »

This computer animation, created using new software called Arepo, simulates 9 billion years of cosmic history. Arepo can accurately follow the birth and evolution of thousands of galaxies over billions of years. Arepo generates the full variety of galaxies seen locally, including majestic spirals like the Milky Way and Andromeda.

Yet to see this subject discussed on Jeremy Kyle. Most people are too rapped up and too busy to even contemplate  Mr Hawkings suggestion to "Be curious"

I watched that horizon programme the other night about the universe and dark matter. Really boggles the mind, the size of the KNOWN universe is just too large to comprehend.
Doesn't half make you feel small when they show you a 3D perspective of the countless galaxies out there. Billions upon billions upon billions of stars out there, and they're just the ones we know about!
Just confirms my belief that we simply CAN'T be the only sentient beings.

I thought they said they once believed that there was an end to the universe edge but now they have measured form star light sources in the distance saying the universe is just growing to infinity so there is no end  :) All mind boggling stuff .... this little planet we live on might not be the only one where the omega lives  ;D
