A new simulation shows the first few seconds after the Big bang, focusing on the gas and dust between the galaxies.
The Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands used machine learning to complete 100,000 hours of computation. The project's computer program is called Hydro- BAM.
IAC representatives said in a May 20 statement (opens in new tab) that the new work allowed researchers to chart phenomena that are essential to understanding the structure of our universe.
In 10 easy steps, you can read the history of the universe.
They said that the research made it possible to reproduce with high precision. Clouds of hydrogen gas absorb the light from the stars and create a pattern of lines in the spectrum.
The "virtual universes" are used as test beds for the study of cosmology. Current computing facilities only allow us to explore small Cosmic volumes and simulations are very expensive.
The history of the universe is included in Hydro-BAM. The researchers said that it was possible to get very accurate predictions in a short time.
The team was able to figure out where the clouds of hydrogen gas are by studying the absorption lines. The universe is continually expanding and location is a proxy for that. The clouds give clues as to what is in the universe.
The breakthrough came when we realized that the quantities of intergalactic gas, dark matter and neutral hydrogen that we were trying to model are well organized in a hierarchy.
The most recent study on the research was published in March of this year in The Astrophysical Journal.
