Ramblings of an old Doc

 

Not from Time0 but really impressive! It starts with the Universe being 4 billion years of age and goes to age 14 billion years.

It was produced by a Harvard-Smithsonian team.

Arepo is the software which did it.

“Arepo's secret to producing accurate visualizations is its geometry; a grid that moves and flexes to mirror the motions of dark energy, dark matter, gasses and stars. Video playback of the celestial recreation clocks in at just over a minute, but it took Harvard's 1,024-core Odyssey super computer months to churn out.”
