Mapping the universe, faster and with the same accuracy

Forget supercomputers — scientists say a laptop could map the universe in minutes

A new emulator is tackling the near-impossible task of mapping the universe's large-scale structure without sacrificing intricate details.

Scientists Just Found a Way to Simulate the Universe on a Laptop

The Universe is woven into a vast cosmic web of galaxies, clusters, and filaments, but modeling such complexity has always demanded supercomputers and immense time. Now, scientists have introduced Effort.jl, an innovative emulator that mimics the behavior of advanced cosmological models with striking accuracy, sometimes even improving on them, while running in minutes on a [...]

Mapping the universe, faster and with the same accuracy

If you think a galaxy is big, compare it to the size of the universe: it's just a tiny dot which, together with a huge number of other tiny dots, forms clusters that aggregate into superclusters, which in turn weave into filaments threaded with voids—an immense 3D skeleton of our universe.

“The Fastest 3D Map of the Universe Ever Made” – Meson Stars

https://youtube.com/watch?v=CDWiD0iXyN8 “The Fastest 3D Map of the Universe Ever Made” When we look at the universe, galaxies seem enormous — but compared to the cosmic web, they’re just tiny dots, arranged into clusters, superclusters, and vast filaments stretching across space. Mapping this gigantic structure is one of astronomy’s greatest challenges. Traditionally, researchers rely on detailed physical models like the Effective Field Theory o…

Charting the Universe: Faster Mapping with Unmatched Precision

In the vast expanse of the cosmos, galaxies—despite their immense size—appear as mere specks when viewed in the context of the Universe itself. These tiny points, countless in number, assemble into clusters that further coalesce into superclusters, a colossal web of interconnected structures known as filaments, all interlaced with enormous voids. This intricate network forms […]
