Take a look at our universe's infancy. This is a simulation of the cosmos shortly after the big bang, as the density of dark and ordinary matter fluctuates before condensing into an arrangement more like that of today.
The simulation was performed using a universe simulator developed at Argonne National Laboratory, Illinois, on a graphics supercomputer called Eureka. The San Diego Supercomputer Center in California also collaborated on the project. It modelled a volume of the universe around 1 billion light years cubed and took over 4 million CPU hours to complete.
