Natural Science 301 Guidelines
This is an open forum area for all members for discussions on all issues of science and origins.

This means obvious trolling and flaming that becomes a problem will be dealt with, and you might find yourself in the doghouse.

What's really amazing about this is how close the simulation came to matching the real thing.
The real Universe photographed by the Hubble telescope is on the left. On the right is what emerges from the simulation.
Here is a good BBC write up on the work:
Universe evolution recreated in lab
Wow. Just wow.
