The cold dark matter model has become the leading theoretical paradigm for the formation of structure in the Universe. Together with the theory of cosmic inflation, this model makes a clear prediction for the initial conditions for structure formation and predicts that structures grow hierarchically through gravitational instability. Testing this model requires that the precise measurements delivered by galaxy surveys can be compared to robust and equally precise theoretical calculations. Here we present a novel framework for the quantitative physical interpretation of such surveys. This combines the largest simulation of the growth of dark matter structure ever carried out with new techniques for following the formation and evolution of the visible components. We show that baryon-induced features in the initial conditions of the Universe are reflected in distorted form in the low-redshift galaxy distribution, an effect that can be used to constrain the nature of dark energy with next generation surveys.

  • @Squarkino...This is an amazing piece of bullshite. and gobbledegook! Almost quasi-scientific in the construction of the sentences and use of words. What the intent was one will never know. It gives true scientific presentations a bad name and should be treated for what it is..cupidic gobbledegook!

  • beautiful galaxies like beads on a necklace!!!!

  • This would be much better in HD or HQ...

  • it's a matter web.... The Universe
