"Unprecedented Cosmological Simulation: Astronomers Push Boundaries"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Phys.org
Astronomers have conducted the largest ever cosmological computer simulation, known as FLAMINGO, which tracks the evolution of dark matter, ordinary matter, and dark energy in the universe. The simulations provide insights into the large-scale structure of the universe and may help explain discrepancies between different cosmological observations. The inclusion of ordinary matter and neutrinos in the simulations is crucial for accurate predictions. The simulations also involve the calibration of galactic winds using machine learning techniques. The FLAMINGO simulations offer new opportunities for theoretical discoveries and testing data analysis methods, including machine learning.
