Scientists
have developed a new time-lapse model of the universe's evolution, a
computerized vision that shows how the universe may have viewed over the passage
of billions of years. The cosmic simulation copies the large-scale variations
in the structure of the universe, locating 13 billion years of evolution beginning
12 million years after the Big Bang. The computer model, called Illustris, is exceptional
because it covers a wide area and also emphases on some facts that are
difficult to compute while observing at such a wide band of the universe.
