Scientists at MIT have traced 13 billion years of galaxy evolution, from
shortly after the Big Bang to the present day. Their simulation, named
Illustris, captures both the massive scale of the Universe and the
intriguing variety of galaxies -- something previous modelers have
struggled to do. It produces a Universe that looks remarkably similar
to what we see through our telescopes, giving us greater confidence in
our understanding of the Universe, from the laws of physics to our
theories about galaxy formation.
