COSMOLOGICAL SIMULATION

A research team led by Carnegie Mellon University, which includes specialists from the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics in Germany and the Center for Astrophysics (CFA) recently developed a model for the simulation of cosmic evolution that verifies the current knowledge on relations between black holes and the galaxies they reside. Called BH Cosmo, the simulation shows that black holes are essential to the structure of the cosmos and may help guide future users of advanced telescopes, showing them to be watching when trying to locate the most archaic cosmic events and untangle the history of the universe. This is the first simulation that incorporates the physics of black holes and from the point of view, it was a challenge because it involves more calculations than any other simulation model never achieved on the evolution of the cosmos.
