Galaxy evolution in cyber universe matches astronomical observations in fine detail

Scientists at the University of Chicago have bolstered the case for a popular scenario of the big bang theory that neatly explains the arrangement of galaxies throughout the universe. Their supercomputer simulation shows how dark matter, an invisible material of unknown composition, herded luminous matter in the universe from its initial smooth state into the cosmic web of galaxies and galaxy clusters that populate the universe.

It's kind of cute.

Its pretty amazing.

It makes one feel quite small in the scheme of things.

To think we live in there ..... somewhere.

Great, a cube

Well,big bang theory or not, i still believe god made everything.

Did he make himself?

Excuse my ignorance....if that is what the known universe looks like....then what makes up all the rest of the space....does it have finite boundaries...in that, is there an end?


Wow , my mind is boggling at the possibilities...if there is one...(our universe)...are there others?...Or is it all black matter outside of it?

Great questions!

Perhaps that is a hologram and the real universe is completely a flat computer type chip projecting information into that square enclosure.

Space and time are co-terminus. Where space (the universe) ends, so does time. Because space is curved, there is no "outside of the universe". If you started at the center of the universe and traveled in a straight line, you would eventually wind up at your starting point.

1) Whatever begins to exist has a cause.
2) The Universe began to exist.
3) Therefore, the Universe had a cause.

For hundreds of years, Scientists insisted that the universe had always existed. As evidence piled up proving that the universe had a beginning, it was resisted fiercely by scientists, because the fact the Bible accurate in stating that the universe had a beginning. They opposed progress, simply because they didn't want to admit that there had to be a first cause.

For non-personal causes, the cause and the effect exist simultaneously. The non-personal cause can't decide to make the effect, the effect is a direct result of the existence of the cause. A personal cause can choose when to take action and thereby create the effect. Since the universe is not infinitely old and we know that the universe had a beginning, the "first cause" must have been a person, which we call God.
