That is pretty freaking awesome.

Needs more work, but what an amazing start for simulating spacetime. They've made a lot of progress in a short period of time. Looks very promising I hope they do more with it. Like take the clock back to earlier times (I hope the sim doesn't break down before 12 million years but I suspect it does) It starts at 12 million years after the big bang? Needs to go much further back. I hope they keep at it or some others add to it/modify it someday.

It's pretty neat to see the correlation between dark matter density and baryonic matter gas temperature.

Great vid thanks for sharing.

So....dizzy!

I don't see heaven.

Dead physicists in Heaven Mark 1 had access to some incredibly powerful particle accelerators. They accidentally created a pocket of unstable spacetime that didn't collapse in on itself as expected, due to a slight adjustment in its natural cohesiveness. The photon debris of the CMB is all that's left of Heaven, and dark matter is the pulverized angels.
