MIT and Harvard researchers create ultra-accurate model of the universe

Researchers at MIT and Harvard have created the most accurate model yet of how our universe formed, and you can watch it right here in the beautiful, trippy video below. “Watching the video is like flying through the universe way faster than the speed of light and watching galaxies as they are assembling,” said Paul Torrey, an astronomy graduate student at Harvard who helped develop the model known as the Illustris simulation.
