Scroll right and watch the universe evolve. Above [ http://www.mpa-garc…] is a computer simulation depicting the evolution of our entire universe. On the far left is a slice of the universe [ http://antwrp.gsfc.…] soon after the Big Bang [ http://physics7.ber…] – over 10 billion years ago. As time progresses toward the right, the initially smooth universe [ http://antwrp.gsfc.…] can be seen becoming more and more clumpy. The vertex near the far right marks the present day. The largest slice of the universe [ http://antwrp.gsfc.…] actually surveyed is simulated to the vertex’s right. This artificial universe [ http://www.astro.ls…], called a Hubble Volume [ http://www.mpa-garc…], was designed to mimic what humanity might see were we to have powerful enough telescopes. By comparing different computer simulations to reality [ http://xxx.lanl.gov…], we might be able to better tell what kind of universe we live in [ http://antwrp.gsfc.…].
